CVE-2025-1711
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 · uneditedMultiple services of the DUT as well as different scopes of the same service reuse the same credentials.
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 confidenceMultiple services and different scopes within the same service on the Device Under Test (DUT) reuse identical credentials, violating the principle of least privilege and allowing privilege escalation if any single credential is compromised.

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.
-
Check firmware versionRetrieve the installed firmware version of the Endress Meac300 Fnade4 device. This is typically found in the device web interface under System > Firmware, or via CLI command such as 'show firmware-version' or 'version'. Compare the version number against the affected range: <= 0.16.0Affected if The firmware version is 0.16.0 or lower
-
Identify active servicesList all running services or daemons on the device. This may be done via CLI commands like 'services list', 'systemctl list-units', or through the device's service management interface. Document each service name and its associated scope or permission levelAffected if Multiple services are running on the device (prerequisite for credential reuse to be relevant)
-
Locate credential configurationExamine the credential configuration files or authentication settings for each identified service. Common locations include /etc/config/, /etc/security/, or service-specific config directories. Look for files containing usernames, passwords, tokens, API keys, or authentication secretsAffected if Credential configuration files exist on the device
-
Check for credential reuse across servicesCompare the credential values (passwords, tokens, keys) used by different services. If the same username/password combination, token, or API key is used by two or more distinct services or scopes, this indicates the vulnerability. Look for duplicate entries in credential storage filesAffected if Identical credentials are used by multiple different services or by different scopes within the same service
-
Verify scope separationIf credentials appear unique per service, verify that each credential grants different permission scopes. Check whether credentials labeled for 'read-only' or 'limited' access are actually functionally identical to those granting higher privileges. Review role-based access control (RBAC) or privilege level assignmentsAffected if Credentials ostensibly assigned to different scopes or privilege levels are functionally identical or interchangeable
You are affected if your Endress Meac300 Fnade4 firmware is version 0.16.0 or lower AND multiple services or scopes reuse the same credentials, allowing a compromised credential to escalate privileges across the device.

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 dataImplement unique credentials for each service and each scope, rotating compromised credentials and applying the principle of least privilege to credential assignment.
