Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information in STER
CVE-2026-25608 affects STER software from Centralny Instytut Ochrony Pracy - Państwowy Instytut Badawczy in versions prior to 9.5. The vulnerability arises because STER transmits data over unencrypted TCP traffic, resulting in sensitive information being sent in cleartext across the network. Because the application does not adequately protect data in transit, an attacker who can observe or intercept the network path can perform a man-in-the-middle attack and capture transmitted secrets. Exposed data may include passwords, personal data, and authentication tokens.
