CVE-2025-22492

Database administrative access via exposed connection string

Published Feb 28, 2025 · Updated Feb 28, 2025

Plaintext credential storage in Eaton Foreseer Reporting Services before 1.5.100 allows local users to obtain 4crXref administrative access. FRS exposes a database connection string to users who can access the FRSCore database on the reporting VM, and 4crXref accepts its credentials. Access to FRSCore requires high local privileges; the exposed credential grants administrative control over 4crXref data.
