CERT Polska coordinated the disclosure of a vulnerability in Streamsoft Business Intelligence (BI) software, tracked as CVE-2026-50641, in which user passwords were stored in plaintext within the application's database. Plaintext password storage is a significant security weakness because it exposes credentials to anyone with database access, whether through a separate compromise, insider threat, or backup exposure, and eliminates the protective barrier that proper hashing provides.
The vendor addressed the issue in version 6.8.0.0 and additionally required users to change their passwords upon first login following the update, mitigating the risk that previously exposed plaintext credentials could be reused by an attacker. The vulnerability was responsibly reported by researcher Kamil Dąbkowski and handled through CERT Polska's coordinated vulnerability disclosure process. There is no indication in the report of active exploitation in the wild.

What this brief leaves out
This page is the free tier: the write-up, the severity, the names. In the app the same report carries live profiles of the CVEs it names. The paid plans add the security research and news reporting the free tier leaves out.
It sits in a corpus of 16,436 reports from 149 sources, 661 of them written in the last seven days, and it grows through the day.
A new account starts with three days of all of it, no card, then keeps the government and CERT reporting free. Slack alerts are a paid-plan feature: name the vendors you run and Slack hears about the reports that touch them, not the rest of the week's. Nothing is charged unless you subscribe.
