CVE-2026-40619 Details
Description
A high security vulnerability affecting Security Center main server installations has been identified. It could allow an attacker with local OS privileges to the main server to access the Server Admin credentials. A third party hired by Genetec found the issue. There is currently no evidence of active exploitation. This vulnerability is associated with specific installation package builds rather than the product version identifier alone. Certain versions (including 5.10.4.0, 5.11.3.0, 5.12.2.0 and 5.13.3.0) were released with both vulnerable and remediated installation packages under the same version number. Consequently, version-based comparison alone is insufficient to determine exposure. Only installations performed using vulnerable builds are affected. Remediated builds can be distinguished using verified installation package hashes. For the complete list of fixed build hashes, refer to the security advisory section.
A vulnerability exists in Genetec Security Center main server installations, versions 5.7 SR6 through 5.13, allowing an attacker with local OS privileges to access Server Admin credentials. This issue arises from certain installation package builds that logged sensitive information under specific conditions. A third-party source identified the vulnerability, but there is no current evidence of active exploitation.
Users should rotate the Server Admin password if it has not been changed since installation. Genetec provides a utility tool named 'SecurityUtility_CVE-2026-40619_SAM.exe' to identify and remove installation logs containing sensitive data. This tool can be downloaded from the Genetec Download Center. If immediate remediation is not possible, access to the 'ProgramData\Genetec\Installation' folder should be restricted to administrator users.
