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 · unedited
Multiple Lenze products of the cabinet series skip the password verification upon second login. After a user has been logged on to the device once, a remote attacker can get full access without knowledge of the password.

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 · high confidence

Authentication bypass vulnerability in Lenze cabinet series devices where password verification is skipped after a user's first successful login. A remote attacker who can reach the device can gain full administrative access without knowing the password, exploiting the flawed session or re-authentication logic.

MitigationIsolate affected devices on restricted network segments; contact Lenze for firmware patches; implement network monitoring for unauthorized access attempts as compensating control until vendor fix is available.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify the Lenze device model
    Locate the device labeling or access the device management interface to confirm the model number is C520, C550, or C750
    Affected if The device is a Lenze C520, C550, or C750 cabinet controller
  2. Determine the installed firmware version
    Access the device firmware or system information page (typically found in the web interface under System > Info or similar), or use the device's built-in diagnostic menu to retrieve the firmware version string
    Affected if The firmware version is >= 1.07.00.2757 AND < 01.08.01.3021
  3. Verify if web-based or remote management interface is enabled
    Check the device network configuration settings to confirm whether the HTTP/HTTPS web interface or any remote management protocol is accessible over the network
    Affected if Remote management or web interface is exposed on the network
  4. Review active administrative sessions
    In the device web interface, navigate to the session management or user status page to list currently logged-in administrative accounts
    Affected if Multiple admin sessions exist or unexpected admin accounts are active without proper re-authentication

You are affected if the device is a Lenze C520/C550/C750 with firmware between 1.07.00.2757 and 01.08.01.3021 and remote management is enabled, as the password verification bypass allows unauthenticated admin access after the first login.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 01.08.01.3021 or later
Fixed in 01.08.01.3021
Interim mitigation

Isolate affected devices on restricted network segments; contact Lenze for firmware patches; implement network monitoring for unauthorized access attempts as compensating control until vendor fix is available.

Recommended fix High confidence

Firmware version 01.08.01.3021 or later for C520, C550, and C750

  1. Identify the specific model (C520, C550, or C750) in use
  2. Access the device management interface or use Lenze's update tools to check the current firmware version
  3. Download the fixed firmware version 01.08.01.3021 or later from Lenze's official support website (cert.vde.com or lenze.com)
  4. Review Lenze's firmware upgrade documentation for your specific model
  5. Perform the firmware upgrade following Lenze's official procedures, ensuring stable power during the process
  6. After upgrade, verify the new firmware version is installed
  7. Test that the password authentication mechanism works correctly for all login attempts
  8. Ensure default credentials have been changed from factory defaults
