CVE-2024-1272
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 · uneditedInclusion of Sensitive Information in Source Code vulnerability in TNB Mobile Solutions Cockpit Software allows Retrieve Embedded Sensitive Data. This issue affects Cockpit Software: before v0.251.1.
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 confidenceThis is a hardcoded sensitive information vulnerability in TNB Mobile Solutions Cockpit Software. The software contains embedded sensitive data (such as credentials, API keys, tokens, or passwords) directly in the source code, which attackers can retrieve. The vulnerability is patched in version v0.251.1 and later.

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 version of Tnbmobil CockpitLocate the software installation directory and check the version file, about screen, or version command output. Look for version indicators such as version metadata, changelog, or the application binary that displays the version number.Affected if The installed version is lower than 0.251.1 (e.g., 0.250.0, 0.240.0, etc.)
-
Inspect source code for hardcoded credentialsSearch the application source code files (configuration files, script files, application binaries, or any deployable artifacts) for strings that resemble credentials, API keys, tokens, or passwords. Use grep or similar tools to search for patterns like 'password=', 'api_key=', 'token=', 'secret=', or base64-encoded strings that may decode to sensitive data.Affected if Any hardcoded sensitive data (credentials, API keys, tokens, or passwords) is found embedded directly in the source code or configuration files of the Tnbmobil Cockpit installation
-
Check for embedded secrets in configuration filesExamine all configuration files, properties files, YAML files, or XML files within the Tnbmobil Cockpit installation directory. Look for plaintext passwords, API keys, authentication tokens, or other secrets stored directly in these files.Affected if Sensitive credentials or API keys are found stored in plaintext within configuration files distributed with the software
You are affected if Tnbmobil Cockpit version is below 0.251.1 AND the source code or configuration files contain embedded credentials, API keys, tokens, or passwords.

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.
dbcve · scoped0.251.1
Upgrade Cockpit Software to version v0.251.1 or later. Additionally, conduct a code review to identify and remove any hardcoded sensitive data, and implement a secrets management solution (e.g., environment variables, vault) for future deployments.
Cockpit v0.251.1
- 1. Identify all deployments of Cockpit software in your environment running versions before 0.251.1
- 2. Back up current configurations and data before upgrading
- 3. Obtain Cockpit version 0.251.1 or later from the official vendor (TNB Mobile Solutions)
- 4. Upgrade Cockpit software to version 0.251.1 following vendor-provided upgrade instructions
- 5. After upgrade, verify that sensitive information (credentials, API keys, tokens) is no longer hardcoded in source code and is properly managed via secure methods (environment variables, secrets management)
- 6. Review logs and access patterns to confirm no unauthorized access to embedded sensitive data occurred prior to the upgrade
