CVE-2025-26701 is a critical vulnerability affecting Percona PMM Server (OVA) versions prior to 3.0.0-1.ova. It stems from default service account credentials allowing unauthenticated SSH access, privilege escalation to root via Sudo, and exposure of sensitive data. With a CVSS score of 10.0, this vulnerability is easily exploitable over the network with no user interaction, leading to complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While no active exploits or public exploit code are currently reported, and community discussion is minimal, the high severity warrants immediate patching to versions PMM2 2.42.0-1.ova and later, or PMM3 3.0.0-1.ova and later.
