Missing Authentication for Critical Function in Tactis' NoviGest Desktop App

Overview

Vulnerability due to a lack of authentication in critical functions of the NoviGest Desktop App's Java RMI service. An attacker with network access to the service can invoke remote methods without authentication, obtain sensitive credentials, and execute arbitrary SQL queries on PostgreSQL. The elevated privileges of the database account allow these capabilities to be chained together to execute operating system commands on the server, compromising its confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Affected

• novigest_desktop_app NoviGest Desktop App prior to version 8.0.0-300

Remediation

Update the NoviGest Desktop App to version 8.0.0-300, in which the vendor confirms that the vulnerabilitie have been fixed. For CVE-2026-112197, remote methods that access data require a JWT session token validated on the server. Interfaces that exposed credentials and allowed arbitrary SQL execution have been removed, and the privileges of the PostgreSQL account have been reduced to prevent program execution and access to server files.
