# NoviGest Desktop App: unauthenticated Java RMI service leaks credentials and runs OS commands

The NoviGest Desktop App exposes a Java RMI service whose critical methods require no authentication. An attacker on the network can read stored credentials, run arbitrary SQL on PostgreSQL, and chain that into operating system command execution on the server.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check whether the NoviGest Desktop App is installed and which version is running; the sources do not give affected version numbers.
- Check whether the Java RMI port used by NoviGest is reachable from the network (version and port: unknown).

## Fix

- unknown: the sources do not name a fixed version or vendor patch.
- Until a fix is confirmed, restrict network access to the RMI service and rotate the PostgreSQL and application credentials it may have exposed.

## From the sources

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.
