CVE-2026-81822 Details
Description
The vulnerability, if exploited, could allow a miscreant with read access to PIMBoards project files to reverse engineer PIMBoards users’ app-native passwords through computational brute-forcing of weak hashes, potentially allowing elevation to a PIMBoards administrator user.
A vulnerability exists in AVEVA Pipeline Integrity Monitor PIMBoards component, specifically in versions through 2025 SP1 P1 (build 7.1.9580.8513). This vulnerability allows individuals with read access to PIMBoards project files to reverse engineer users' app-native passwords. The issue arises from the use of weak hash algorithms, specifically MD5, which can be brute-forced. Exploiting this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized elevation of privileges, allowing a user to gain administrative access within the PIMBoards application.
Users are advised to upgrade to AVEVA Pipeline Integrity Monitor 2025 SP1 P2 or higher. For project files that cannot be migrated to the newer version, evaluate the risk of password leakage and implement stricter access controls. Additionally, PIMBoards users should be required to change their passwords.
