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
Missing Authentication, Files or Directories Accessible to External Parties, Use of Hard-coded Credentials vulnerability in Talya Informatics Elektraweb allows Authentication Bypass. This issue affects Elektraweb: before v17.0.68.

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 confidence

Talya Informatics Elektraweb before v17.0.68 contains multiple critical security flaws allowing unauthenticated attackers to bypass authentication. The vulnerability chain combines hard-coded credentials embedded in the application, publicly accessible files or directories, and missing authentication checks on sensitive resources. An attacker with network access can exploit these combined weaknesses to gain unauthorized access to the web application without valid credentials.

MitigationUpgrade Elektraweb to version 17.0.68 or later. Prior to upgrade, audit the application for exposed sensitive files and remove any hard-coded credentials. Implement proper authentication mechanisms and restrict access to administrative resources.

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 Elektraweb version
    Locate the application version information - check the web interface login page source, about page, or configuration files for version metadata. Common locations include: version files, config.xml, or the main application binaries.
    Affected if The installed version is any version before 17.0.68 (e.g., 17.0.60, 16.x, 15.x)
  2. Search for hard-coded credentials
    Inspect application source code, configuration files, and scripts for embedded usernames and passwords. Search for patterns like 'password=', 'credentials=', or hard-coded database connection strings within the application deployment directory.
    Affected if Any hard-coded credentials, default passwords, or embedded secrets are found in the application files
  3. Identify publicly accessible directories
    Review web server configuration and application directory structure. Check if sensitive directories such as /admin, /config, /backup, or /data are accessible without authentication via HTTP requests.
    Affected if Sensitive directories or administrative interfaces are accessible without requiring authentication
  4. Verify authentication on sensitive endpoints
    Attempt to access sensitive application resources (such as administrative functions, user data APIs, or configuration pages) directly via HTTP requests without providing valid credentials.
    Affected if Sensitive resources or administrative functions can be accessed without authentication
  5. Check for exposed backup or configuration files
    Probe for commonly exposed file names such as backup.zip, config.bak, .sql dumps, or .git directories accessible via the web root.
    Affected if Backup files, configuration backups, or source code repositories are publicly accessible via the web server

A user is affected if their Elektraweb installation is any version before 17.0.68 AND exhibits any of the hard-coded credentials, missing authentication checks, or publicly accessible sensitive files described in the CVE.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Upgrade Elektraweb to version 17.0.68 or later. Prior to upgrade, audit the application for exposed sensitive files and remove any hard-coded credentials. Implement proper authentication mechanisms and restrict access to administrative resources.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

v17.0.68 or later

  1. Identify all deployments of Talya Informatics Elektraweb in the environment
  2. Check the current installed version of Elektraweb
  3. Create a complete backup of the Elektraweb installation and associated database
  4. Upgrade Elektraweb to version 17.0.68 or later
  5. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the new version number
  6. Test that authentication mechanisms are functioning correctly after the upgrade
