CVE-2025-44203 is a high-severity flaw (CVSS 7.5) affecting hoteldruid. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

In HotelDruid 3.0.0 and 3.0.7, the unauthenticated database-setup endpoint creadb.php can be reached before setup is completed and performs database creation without locking. By sending many concurrent requests, an attacker can trigger a race condition during which verbose SQL error messages disclose the administrator username, password hash, and salt. The same race leaves the setup partially initialized, so the administrator can no longer log in

digitaldruid hoteldruid DOWNGRADE

Affected: 3.0.0 · 3.0.7

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 3.0.0

dnf --showduplicates list hoteldruid sudo dnf downgrade hoteldruid-<VERSION_BEFORE_3.0.0> sudo dnf versionlock add hoteldruid

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
