CVE-2016-2306
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThe HMI web server in Ecava IntegraXor before 5.0 build 4522 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive cleartext information by sniffing the network.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceThe HMI web server in Ecava IntegraXor before version 5.0 build 4522 transmits sensitive information in cleartext without encryption, allowing remote attackers on the same network to capture this data via network sniffing.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify installed IntegraXor versionOpen the IntegraXor application or check the program files directory for version information. The executable or installer typically displays the version number on startup or in the file properties.Affected if The version is 4.2.4502 or earlier, or any version below 5.0 build 4522
-
Check web server configuration for encryptionLocate the IntegraXor web server configuration files, typically found in the installation directory under a config or settings folder. Look for SSL, TLS, or encryption-related settings.Affected if SSL/TLS encryption is disabled or not configured for the web server
-
Verify web server communication protocolCheck if the web server is configured to use HTTP (unencrypted) versus HTTPS (encrypted). This can be done by reviewing the server configuration or attempting to connect on ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS).Affected if The web server is accessible over HTTP (port 80) without redirect to HTTPS or without SSL/TLS enforcement
You are affected if your installed IntegraXor version is 4.2.4502 or earlier AND the web server is transmitting data over unencrypted HTTP connections.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpgrade to IntegraXor version 5.0 build 4522 or later, and implement TLS/SSL encryption for all web server communications to prevent cleartext data exposure.
