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
Weintek cMT-3072XH2 easyweb v2.1.53, OS v20231011 was discovered to contain a hardcoded encryption key which could allow attackers to access sensitive information.

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

The Weintek cMT-3072XH2 easyweb v2.1.53 contains a hardcoded encryption key embedded in the firmware/software. Attackers who discover this key can use it to decrypt sensitive data transmitted or stored by the application, potentially exposing credentials, configuration data, or other confidential information.

MitigationReplace the hardcoded encryption key with a properly managed key solution (e.g., environment-based keys, secure key storage, or per-instance keys). Update firmware and rotate any keys that may have been exposed. Restrict network access to the device's web interface.

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 product model and firmware version
    Access the device's web interface or check system information to confirm the exact model (cMT-3072XH2) and installed firmware version. For Easyweb, check the version displayed in the web interface or in system configuration pages.
    Affected if The device is a Weintek cMT-3072XH2 with firmware version 20231011, or Easyweb version 2.1.53.
  2. Compare installed version to affected ranges
    Verify whether your installed Easyweb version equals 2.1.53, or whether your cMT-3072XH2 firmware version equals 20231011. Note that other versions may also contain the hardcoded key if they were built from the same vulnerable codebase.
    Affected if The installed version matches exactly 2.1.53 for Easyweb or 20231011 for cMT-3072XH2 firmware.
  3. Extract and inspect firmware binary
    If you have access to the firmware file (download from vendor site or extract from device), use binwalk, strings, or a hex editor to examine the binary for hardcoded cryptographic material. Search for suspicious static strings that may function as encryption keys.
    Affected if The firmware contains a hardcoded encryption key (static string used for cryptographic operations that is identical across all installations).
  4. Check web application configuration files
    If you can access the device filesystem or backup configurations, examine configuration or database files for encrypted sensitive data. Try to identify the encryption method and check if the same key is used across multiple devices or installations.
    Affected if The same encryption key is found in multiple devices or configuration files, indicating a hardcoded rather than dynamically generated key.

You are affected if you are running Weintek Easyweb version 2.1.53 or cMT-3072XH2 firmware version 20231011, or if analysis of your firmware/configuration reveals a static, hardcoded encryption key embedded in the software.

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.

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

Replace the hardcoded encryption key with a properly managed key solution (e.g., environment-based keys, secure key storage, or per-instance keys). Update firmware and rotate any keys that may have been exposed. Restrict network access to the device's web interface.
