Summary
CVE-2026-7189 is a high-severity vulnerability (CVSS 8.2) affecting Proliz Software Ltd. Co.’s OBS — a web-based Student Affairs Information System (Öğrenci Bilgi Sistemi) deployed across Turkish universities. The flaw involves the insertion of sensitive information into transmitted data (CWE-201), enabling unauthenticated remote attackers to access functionality not properly constrained by access control lists (ACLs). All versions of Proliz OBS prior to v3.6.0 are affected.
Technical details
- Root cause: The application inserts sensitive information into data sent over the network (CWE-201). This exposed data can be leveraged by an attacker to bypass access controls and reach functionality that should be restricted.
- Trigger conditions: Exploitable remotely with no authentication and no user interaction required. The OBS platform is internet-facing by design — students, faculty, and administrators access it via public URLs — making all unpatched instances directly reachable.
- Attack vector: Network (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), no user interaction (UI:N).
- Impact: High confidentiality impact — sensitive information is exposed; low integrity impact — an attacker can reach and interact with ACL-constrained functionality (CAPEC-1). No availability impact.
Affected software
- Proliz OBS (Student Affairs Information System) — all versions prior to v3.6.0
Severity
- CVSS v3.1 Base Score: 8.2 (HIGH)
- Vector:
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N
Mitigation and recommended actions
- Immediate: Upgrade Proliz OBS to v3.6.0 or later, which contains the vendor-provided fix per the Turkish Cyber Security Authority advisory (TR-26-0571).
- If immediate patching is not feasible: Restrict network access to OBS-hosted endpoints to trusted institutional IP ranges and monitor access logs for anomalous unauthenticated requests targeting protected application paths.
IONIX Status
