CVE-2025-58744, published on 2026-01-20, is a Use of Default Credentials and Hard-coded Credentials vulnerability (CWE-798, CWE-1392) in the C2SGlobalSettings.dll component of Milner ImageDirector Capture on Windows. The flaw allows decryption of document archive files using credentials decrypted with a hard-coded application encryption key. It affects ImageDirector Capture versions from 7.0.9.0 before 7.6.3.25808 and has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N).

Unauthenticated remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low complexity and no user interaction required. Successful exploitation grants access to decrypt sensitive document archive files, leading to high confidentiality impact without affecting integrity or availability.

Mitigation involves upgrading to ImageDirector Capture version 7.6.3.25808 or later. Additional details are available in the advisory at https://sra.io/advisories.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

CM-6 Configuration Settings good match

Secure configuration settings establish baselines that prohibit default credentials on system components.

IA-5 Authenticator Management good match

Authenticator management requires secure distribution and handling of credentials, structurally discouraging hard-coded values.

RA-5 Vulnerability Monitoring and Scanning good match

Vulnerability scanning can discover default credentials after deployment but does not stop their introduction.

SC-12 Cryptographic Key Establishment and Management good match

Cryptographic key management mandates proper establishment and handling instead of embedding keys in code.

AC-2 Account Management partial match

Account management processes include assignment and control of initial account credentials, reducing the chance defaults remain active.

Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

PR.PS-01 full match
prevents

Hardened baselines and configuration management explicitly prohibit default credentials on deployed systems.

PR.AA-01 mostly match
prevents

Credential management processes directly require replacing or disabling default passwords and keys.

PR.AA-03 partial match
prevents

Authentication policies can enforce non-default credential strength but do not explicitly address initial deployment defaults.

PR.AA-02 none match
prevents

PR.AA-02 addresses human identity proofing and per-person credential issuance at enrollment; it has no bearing on whether developers embed static credentials in software.

PR.DS-01 none match
prevents

PR.DS-01 addresses encryption and integrity of stored data but never touches credential or key management practices, so it neither prevents hard-coded credentials nor removes any of their risk.

Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

A.8.9 Configuration management mostly match
prevents

The requirement to replace vendor default authentication information immediately after installation directly counters the use of default credentials that attackers commonly target.

A.6.3 Information security awareness, education and training partial match
prevents

Education on secure configuration practices discourages technical staff from embedding or relying on hard-coded credentials in systems and applications.

A.8.24 Use of cryptography partial match
mitigates

Secure key-generation, distribution and storage procedures reduce the likelihood that hard-coded or default cryptographic keys will be introduced or left unprotected.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Explicit prohibition of hard-coded passwords and unauthenticated external services stops credentials from being embedded directly in source code.

A.8.30 Outsourced development partial match
prevents

Contractual requirements for secure coding practices and evidence of testing make it less likely that hard-coded credentials will be introduced or remain undetected in delivered code.

A.5.16 Identity management none match
none

Requiring independent oversight and timely disabling of non-human identities makes it harder for hard-coded or long-lived credentials to remain exploitable.
