CVE-2024-26155
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 · uneditedAll versions of ETIC Telecom Remote Access Server (RAS) prior to 4.5.0 expose clear text credentials in the web portal. An attacker can access the ETIC RAS web portal and view the HTML code, which is configured to be hidden, thus allowing a connection to the ETIC RAS ssh server, which could enable an attacker to perform actions on the device.
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 confidenceETIC Telecom RAS versions before 4.5.0 store credentials in cleartext within the web portal's HTML source code. While the credentials are visually hidden in the browser interface, they remain accessible to anyone who views the page source, enabling unauthorized SSH access to the device.

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.
-
Determine the ETIC Telecom RAS firmware versionAccess the device's web admin interface and navigate to the System Information or About page. Alternatively, check via CLI using 'show version' or similar command if SSH is available.Affected if The installed firmware version is below 4.5.0
-
Verify the web portal is accessibleNavigate to the device's IP address in a web browser and confirm the ETIC Telecom RAS login page loads.Affected if The web portal is reachable and displays the login interface
-
Inspect HTML source for exposed credentialsOn the login page, right-click and select 'View Page Source' (or press Ctrl+U). Search within the HTML for password fields or credential-related strings. Examine whether any cleartext usernames or passwords are present in the source code.Affected if Cleartext credentials are found embedded in the page source code
The environment is affected if the firmware version is below 4.5.0 AND credentials are discoverable in the web portal's HTML source code.

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 · scoped4.5.0
Upgrade ETIC Telecom RAS to version 4.5.0 or later. As a compensating control, restrict access to the web portal to trusted networks and enforce SSH key-based authentication instead of password-based auth.
ETIC Telecom RAS Firmware version 4.5.0
- Contact ETIC Telecom to obtain the firmware version 4.5.0 or later for your Remote Access Server device
- Review ETIC Telecom's official firmware upgrade documentation and release notes
- Follow the vendor's standard firmware upgrade procedure for your specific RAS hardware model
- After upgrading, verify the firmware version is 4.5.0 or higher in the device management interface
- As a security best practice, change all credentials after the upgrade to ensure any previously exposed credentials are no longer valid
- Verify the web portal no longer exposes credentials in the HTML source code
