CVE-2024-5631
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 · uneditedLongse NVR (Network Video Recorder) model NVR3608PGE2W, as well as products based on this device, are transmitting user's login and password to a remote control service without using any encryption. This enables an on-path attacker to eavesdrop the credentials and subsequently obtain access to the video stream. The credentials are being sent when a user decides to change his password in router's portal.
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 confidenceLongse NVR model NVR3608PGE2W transmits user login credentials in cleartext (unencrypted) when users change their password through the device's web portal. An on-path attacker can intercept these credentials and gain unauthorized access to the device and its video streams.

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 the NVR device modelAccess the device web interface or check the physical device label for model number NVR3608PGE2WAffected if Device model is NVR3608PGE2W
-
Verify if HTTPS is enabled for the web portalCheck the device web interface settings under Network or Security settings for an SSL/TLS/HTTPS option, or attempt to access the login page using https:// instead of http://Affected if HTTPS is not available or not enforced for the web portal
-
Capture network traffic during password changeUse a network sniffer or proxy to observe traffic when changing the password through the web portal; check if the HTTP request body contains plaintext credentialsAffected if Credentials are sent in cleartext HTTP POST data without encryption
-
Check browser for secure connection indicatorDuring password change, observe the browser address bar - verify no lock icon or secure connection indicator is presentAffected if Connection shows as insecure or no padlock icon is displayed
The device is affected if it is a Longse NVR3608PGE2W model and the password change function transmits credentials over unencrypted HTTP rather than HTTPS.

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.
From vendor dataEnable HTTPS/TLS encryption for all web portal communications, or apply vendor firmware update if available. Until fixed, avoid changing passwords over untrusted networks and consider network segmentation as a compensating control.
