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
Nefteprodukttekhnika BUK TS-G Gas Station Automation System 2.9.1 through 2.10.2 on Linux contains an Improper Authentication vulnerability (CWE-287) in the system configuration module.

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 confidence

The BUK TS-G Gas Station Automation System versions 2.9.1-2.10.2 has an authentication bypass in /php/ajax-login.php that returns userid=1 (administrator) for any POST request with arbitrary credentials, and privileged endpoints under /php/ajax-main.php and /modules/* lack server-side session validation, allowing full administrative access.

MitigationImplement proper credential validation in ajax-login.php with secure session creation, and add server-side session validation to all privileged endpoints under ajax-main.php and /modules/* before allowing administrative actions.

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 installed version
    Locate the BUK TS-G version number in the system login page footer, admin dashboard About section, or configuration files (check common paths like /config/, /settings/, or the main application directory). Compare this version against the affected range 2.9.1-2.10.2.
    Affected if Installed version is 2.9.1, 2.9.2, 2.9.3, 2.10.0, 2.10.1, or 2.10.2 (any version within 2.9.1-2.10.2 inclusive)
  2. Verify ajax-login.php endpoint exists
    Send a GET request to /php/ajax-login.php and confirm the endpoint responds (even if it returns an error or redirect). Use a tool like curl or browser DevTools to check HTTP response.
    Affected if The endpoint /php/ajax-login.php is accessible and returns any HTTP response (200, 401, 302, etc.)
  3. Test authentication bypass
    Send a POST request to /php/ajax-login.php with arbitrary username and password (e.g., username: test, password: test). Inspect the response for userid=1 or administrator-level privileges in the returned JSON or session cookie.
    Affected if The response contains userid=1, admin, or grants authenticated access without valid credentials
  4. Check privileged endpoint session validation
    After the bypass test, attempt to access /php/ajax-main.php or any file under /modules/ directory without a legitimate session. Observe whether the endpoint accepts the request or enforces session validation.
    Affected if Privileged endpoints under /php/ajax-main.php or /modules/ accept requests without proper server-side session validation

You are affected if the installed version is 2.9.1-2.10.2 AND the /php/ajax-login.php endpoint returns administrator privileges (userid=1) for arbitrary credentials, allowing unauthenticated access to administrative functions.
