CVE-2026-75137 Septeo IT Solutions CVE debrief

UpSignOn for Windows before 7.19.0 contains a sensitive data exposure vulnerability that allows local attackers to recover cleartext vault data from process memory even after the application has been locked. The vulnerability is caused by the application's failure to properly secure sensitive data in memory, allowing attackers with PROCESS_VM_READ permission to access and extract sensitive information. This vulnerability affects UpSignOn for Windows versions before 7.19.0 and has a medium-priority defensive review recommendation due to its local attack vector and sensitive data exposure. Security teams should review and apply patches or updates to mitigate this vulnerability. Additionally, teams should monitor system logs for suspicious activity related to PROCESS_VM_READ permission usage and consider alternative authentication methods that do not store sensitive data in process memory.

Who should care

Security teams responsible for Windows systems, particularly those using UpSignOn for authentication, should review and apply patches or updates to mitigate this vulnerability. Additionally, teams should monitor system logs for suspicious activity related to PROCESS_VM_READ permission usage and consider alternative authentication methods that do not store sensitive data in process memory. This vulnerability affects UpSignOn for Windows versions before 7.19.0 and has a medium-priority defensive review recommendation due to its local attack vector and sensitive data exposure.

Technical summary

UpSignOn for Windows before 7.19.0 contains a sensitive data exposure vulnerability that allows local attackers with PROCESS_VM_READ permission to recover cleartext vault data from process memory even after the application has been locked. The exposed data includes entry names, URLs, usernames, passwords, TOTP secrets, and notes. This vulnerability has a CVSS score of 6.9 and a severity rating of MEDIUM. Security teams should review and apply patches or updates to mitigate this vulnerability.

Defensive priority

Medium-priority defensive review recommended due to local attack vector and sensitive data exposure.

Recommended defensive actions

  • Review and apply vendor-provided patches or updates to UpSignOn for Windows.
  • Implement compensating controls to limit local access to sensitive data.
  • Monitor system logs for suspicious activity related to PROCESS_VM_READ permission usage.
  • Consider alternative authentication methods that do not store sensitive data in process memory.
  • Confirm whether affected product deployments exist in managed environments and assign an owner for follow-up.
  • Review the supplied official advisory or CVE record to validate affected scope, severity, and vendor guidance.
  • Plan vendor-supported updates or mitigations through normal change control where exposure is confirmed.

Evidence notes

Evidence from official CVE and NVD sources indicates a sensitive data exposure vulnerability in UpSignOn for Windows before 7.19.0. Local attackers can recover cleartext vault data from process memory after the application has been locked using the PROCESS_VM_READ permission. The vulnerability allows exposure of entry names, URLs, usernames, passwords, TOTP secrets, and notes. Defensive verification tasks should focus on validating affected systems, reviewing system logs for suspicious activity, and ensuring proper patching and mitigation measures are in place.
