According to data from the project's website, the distribution is used by over a million users, with approximately 15,000 downloads recorded this week. The distribution offers additional paid features that are activated by entering a license key in a special graphical application.    <\/p>\n<p>The application for license activation (\\\/usr\\\/bin\\\/windowsfx-register) revealed that it contains hardcoded login and password credentials for accessing an external MySQL database, where data about new users is added. The credentials used allow full access to the database, including the table 'machines' which contains information about all installations of the distribution, including <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/prohoster.info\/en\/lir\/ipv4\/\"   title=\"an IP address\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"701\">an IP address<\/a> users. The contents of the table 'fxkeys', which holds license keys and email addresses of all registered commercial users, are also accessible. Notably, contrary to claims of a million users, there are only 20,000 records in the database. The application is written in Visual Basic and runs using the Gambas interpreter.    <\/p>\n<p>The reaction of the developers of the distribution deserves special attention. Following the publication of information about the security issues, they released an update that did not fix the problem itself, but merely changed the database name, login, and password, as well as altered the logic of obtaining credentials and attempted to combat program tracing. Instead of hard-coded credentials in the application, the Linuxfx developers added the ability to load database connection parameters externally <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/prohoster.info\/en\/server\/dts-los-angeles\/\"   title=\"server\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"3820\">server<\/a>, using the curl utility. To protect itself after launch, it implements a search for and termination of all running 'sudo', 'stapbp', and '*-bpfcc' processes in the system, seemingly believing that this will prevent tracing programs from functioning.    <center><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A built-in password for accessing the user database has been discovered in the Linuxfx distribution.\"
