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
Use of Hard-coded Credentials vulnerability in TNB Mobile Solutions Cockpit Software allows Read Sensitive Strings Within an Executable. This issue affects Cockpit Software: before v2.13.

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

Hard-coded credentials embedded in TNB Mobile Solutions Cockpit Software executable allow attackers to extract sensitive strings directly from the binary, potentially gaining unauthorized access to backend systems or data.

MitigationUpdate Cockpit Software to v2.13 or later, which removes the hard-coded credentials; alternatively, implement secure credential management (e.g., secrets management, environment-based configuration) and rotate any exposed credentials immediately.

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 if TNB Mobile Solutions Cockpit Software is installed
    Check the system for Tnbmobil Cockpit installation. On Windows, review installed programs via 'Programs and Features' or use 'Get-ItemProperty' registry query at HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ for entries named 'Tnbmobil Cockpit' or similar. On Linux, check common application directories or use package management commands.
    Affected if Tnbmobil Cockpit is present on the system
  2. Determine the installed version of Tnbmobil Cockpit
    Locate the Cockpit Software executable or installation directory. Right-click the executable and select 'Properties', then review the 'Details' tab for version information. Alternatively, check any version file or About dialog within the application if accessible.
    Affected if The displayed version is lower than 2.13 or the version cannot be determined
  3. Compare version against affected range
    If a version number is found, compare it directly to the affected range: any version below 2.13 is vulnerable. Versions 2.13 and later are not affected.
    Affected if Installed version is 2.12 or lower, or any version that cannot be confirmed as 2.13 or later
  4. Inspect executable for embedded credentials (optional)
    If version cannot be determined, use a strings extraction tool (such as 'strings' on Linux or BinText on Windows) on the Cockpit executable to search for suspicious hardcoded credentials, API keys, or password-like patterns embedded in the binary.
    Affected if Hardcoded credentials, API tokens, or password strings are found directly within the executable binary

A system is affected if TNB Mobile Solutions Cockpit Software is installed and the installed version is identified as lower than 2.13, or if hard-coded credentials are discovered within the executable.

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 · scoped
Upgrade available Upgrade to 2.13 or later
Fixed in 2.13
Interim mitigation

Update Cockpit Software to v2.13 or later, which removes the hard-coded credentials; alternatively, implement secure credential management (e.g., secrets management, environment-based configuration) and rotate any exposed credentials immediately.

Recommended fix High confidence

Cockpit v2.13

  1. 1. Backup your current Cockpit installation and database
  2. 2. Verify current installed version is below 2.13
  3. 3. Download Cockpit version 2.13 from the official vendor (TNB Mobile Solutions)
  4. 4. Stop the Cockpit service before upgrading
  5. 5. Install the version 2.13 update following vendor documentation
  6. 6. Start the Cockpit service after upgrade
  7. 7. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the version
  8. 8. Change all credentials that may have been exposed due to the hardcoded credentials vulnerability
Caveat Review vendor release notes for v2.13 for any functional changes; upgrade is primarily a security patch so minimal functional impact expected
