CVE-2026-79762 Details
Description
Termix is a web-based server management platform with SSH terminal, tunneling, and file editing capabilities. From 1.7.0 until 2.5.1, Termix derives the keys that wrap OIDC and WebAuthn users' Data Encryption Keys from committed default strings and the public userId salt in src/backend/utils/user-crypto.ts. Because OIDC_SYSTEM_SECRET and WEBAUTHN_SYSTEM_SECRET are not configured by the project's default deployment artifacts, an attacker with an offline SQLite database copy can derive the wrapping key, recover each affected user's DEK, and decrypt stored SSH passwords, private keys, and key passphrases. Password-authenticated users are not affected by this specific key derivation path. This issue is fixed in version 2.5.1.
A vulnerability exists in Termix versions 1.7.0 prior to 2.5.1, where the keys used to encrypt Data Encryption Keys (DEKs) for OIDC and WebAuthn users are derived from hardcoded default strings and public user ID salts. The absence of configured system secrets in the default deployment leaves these users' credentials exposed. An attacker with access to an offline SQLite database can exploit this to decrypt stored SSH passwords, private keys, and key passphrases. This issue does not affect password-authenticated users.
Users should update to Termix version 2.5.1 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
