CVE-2026-22055
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 · uneditedActive IQ OneCollect version 2.7.3 contains hard-coded credentials that could allow an authenticated attacker with low privileges to perform unauthorized AutoSupport operations.
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 confidenceActive IQ OneCollect version 2.7.3 contains hard-coded credentials embedded in the software that could allow an authenticated attacker with low privileges to perform unauthorized AutoSupport operations. The attacker would need valid low-privilege credentials to authenticate to the system, but could then leverage the hard-coded credentials to access and manipulate AutoSupport functionality beyond their authorized scope.

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.
-
Verify the installed version of Active IQ OneCollectLocate the OneCollect installation directory and check for version information in version files, manifest, or executable metadata. On Windows, check Program Files/NetApp/OneCollect or similar paths for a version file. On Linux, check /opt/netapp/onecollect or /usr/local/onecollect.Affected if The installed version is exactly 2.7.3
-
Confirm the OneCollect application is presentCheck if the OneCollect binary or service is installed on the system. Look for onecollect.exe (Windows) or onecollect (Linux) in the installation directory.Affected if The application is installed and running version 2.7.3
-
Inspect application configuration files for hard-coded credentialsExamine all .conf, .config, .xml, .json, and .properties files in the OneCollect installation directory for embedded username/password pairs, API keys, or secret tokens that appear to be hard-coded rather than referenced from external sources.Affected if Hard-coded credentials are found in configuration or application files
-
Review application binaries for embedded secretsUse strings, grep, or a binary analysis tool to search OneCollect executables and libraries for suspicious plain-text strings that resemble credentials (e.g., patterns like 'password=', 'apikey=', 'secret=', base64-encoded strings that decode to credentials).Affected if Binary files contain strings that appear to be hard-coded credentials
You are affected if NetApp Active IQ OneCollect version 2.7.3 is installed and contains hard-coded credentials in configuration files or application binaries.

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 dataUpgrade to a patched version of Active IQ OneCollect that removes the hard-coded credentials. If immediate patching is not possible, restrict network access to the OneCollect service and audit accounts with low-privilege access to minimize the attack surface.
