Summary
Tactis NoviGest Desktop App prior to version 8.0.0-300 is affected. Critical functions of its Java RMI service lack authentication (CWE-306), so a remote attacker with network access can invoke methods without logging in. The attacker can obtain sensitive credentials and run arbitrary SQL queries on PostgreSQL, and the database account's elevated privileges let these capabilities be chained to run operating system commands on the server.

Description from the CNA
Vulnerability due to a lack of authentication in critical functions of the NoviGest Desktop App's Java RMI service. An attacker with network access to the service can invoke remote methods without authentication, obtain sensitive credentials, and execute arbitrary SQL queries on PostgreSQL. The elevated privileges of the database account allow these capabilities to be chained together to execute operating system commands on the server, compromising its confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
