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
Intumit SmartRobot uses a fixed encryption key for authentication. Remote attackers can use this key to encrypt a string composed of the user's name and timestamp to generate an authentication code. With this authentication code, they can obtain administrator privileges and subsequently execute arbitrary code on the remote server using built-in system functionality.

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

Intumit SmartRobot uses a hardcoded/fixed encryption key for its authentication mechanism. Attackers can exploit this by encrypting a string containing a username and timestamp to generate valid authentication tokens, thereby gaining administrator privileges and achieving remote code execution through built-in system functions.

MitigationReplace the fixed encryption key with dynamically generated, securely stored keys and implement proper token validation with expiration and integrity checks.

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 SmartRobot installation and version
    Locate the Intumit SmartRobot application and determine its installed version number. This is typically found in the application metadata, about page, or version file.
    Affected if Version is present and less than 6.2.0-202303TW
  2. Compare version to affected range
    Compare your installed version against the affected range: versions prior to 6.2.0-202303TW are vulnerable.
    Affected if Installed version is lower than 6.2.0-202303TW
  3. Locate the authentication module
    Find the authentication or security configuration module used by SmartRobot. This is typically in the application configuration directory or security settings.
    Affected if The authentication module exists and is in use
  4. Inspect for hardcoded encryption key
    Examine the authentication configuration for the presence of a fixed/static encryption key used for token generation.
    Affected if A hardcoded or fixed encryption key is found in the configuration (versus a dynamically generated one)
  5. Verify if authentication is enabled
    Confirm that the affected authentication mechanism is actively enabled and accessible.
    Affected if The vulnerable authentication system is enabled and operational

Your environment is affected if Intumit SmartRobot is running version lower than 6.2.0-202303TW and uses the hardcoded encryption key for token generation in its authentication system.

Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.

Check your environment

Paste your version and any relevant configuration and it will be compared against the affected criteria above. Do not include secrets or credentials.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 6.2.0-202303TW or later
Fixed in 6.2.0-202303TW
Interim mitigation

Replace the fixed encryption key with dynamically generated, securely stored keys and implement proper token validation with expiration and integrity checks.

Recommended fix High confidence

6.2.0-202303TW or later

  1. 1. Back up all SmartRobot configuration files, databases, and custom settings before proceeding with the upgrade.
  2. 2. Download SmartRobot version 6.2.0-202303TW or later from the official Intumit vendor or trusted distribution channel.
  3. 3. Stop the SmartRobot service to prevent any active sessions during the upgrade process.
  4. 4. Install the updated version 6.2.0-202303TW following the vendor's standard upgrade documentation.
  5. 5. After installation, verify that the fixed encryption key is no longer hardcoded in the authentication mechanism.
  6. 6. Restart the SmartRobot service and confirm normal operation.
  7. 7. Test that administrator authentication functions correctly with the new key management system.
  8. 8. Monitor system logs for any unusual authentication attempts or errors.
