CVE-2026-12622
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 · uneditedThe GridTime 3000 GNSS Time Server has an open redirect vulnerability in the password change form submission. This issue affects GridTime 3000: from 1.0r0.03 through 1.1r0.0.
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 confidenceThe GridTime 3000 GNSS Time Server contains an open redirect vulnerability in the password change form submission. The application fails to properly validate the redirect URL parameter, allowing an attacker to craft a malicious link that redirects users to an arbitrary external website after completing a password change.

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 device productConfirm the target system is a Microchip GridTime 3000 GNSS Time Server by accessing the web interface login page, checking the device label, or running CLI commands such as 'show system info' or 'version' to verify the product name and modelAffected if The device is not a GridTime 3000 GNSS Time Server by Microchip, then this CVE does not apply
-
Check the installed firmware versionAccess the web interface (typically via HTTPS) and navigate to the Status, About, or System Information page to view the firmware version, or use the CLI command 'show version' or 'system info' to retrieve the firmware version numberAffected if The firmware version is >= 1.0r0.03 AND < 1.2r0.0 - only versions in this range are affected by this vulnerability
-
Verify password change functionality existsLog into the web interface and locate the password change or user settings section, typically found under Administration, User Management, or Account Settings menus to confirm the password change form is present and accessibleAffected if The password change form is not present or not accessible, then the attack surface for this vulnerability does not exist
-
Inspect redirect URL handling in password change flowSubmit a password change request with a 'redirect', 'next', or 'url' parameter set to an external domain (such as example.com) in the HTTP request, then observe if the application redirects to the specified external URL after the password change is processedAffected if The application accepts and honors a redirect parameter pointing to an external domain, confirming the open redirect vulnerability is present
You are affected only if the device is a Microchip GridTime 3000 with firmware version >= 1.0r0.03 and < 1.2r0.0, AND the password change form processes an unchecked redirect URL parameter to external sites.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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 · scoped1.2r0.0
Implement strict server-side validation and whitelist-based filtering for any redirect URLs in the password change functionality to ensure only trusted destinations are allowed.
1.2r0.0 or later
- Obtain GridTime 3000 firmware version 1.2r0.0 or later from Microchip's official support website
- Review Microchip's firmware update documentation for the GridTime 3000 device
- Upload and apply the firmware update following the manufacturer's standard upgrade procedure
- After updating, verify that the password change form no longer exhibits open redirect behavior by testing with a known redirect parameter
