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
Weak credentials in the CashDro 3 web administration panel, version 24.01.00.26, where the platform allows the use of numeric PINs for user authentication. The system supports the use of PIN-based credentials, maintaining compatibility with POS software integrations deployed since 2012. This could allow an attacker to easily perform a brute-force attack against a user and gain access by trying different PINs without the account being locked. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could result in unauthorized access to confidential configuration settings, compromising the security of the system.

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 CashDro 3 web administration panel version 24.01.00.26 uses weak numeric PIN-based authentication that lacks brute-force protection or account lockout mechanisms. An attacker can systematically try PIN combinations to gain unauthorized access to the admin panel and expose confidential system configuration settings.

MitigationImplement account lockout after failed attempts, enforce strong alphanumeric password policies, add rate limiting to authentication endpoints, and consider migrating away from PIN-only authentication to standard credential-based authentication.

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 CashDro 3 installation version
    Check the software version displayed in the admin panel interface, typically found in the footer, 'About', or 'System Information' section of the web administration panel
    Affected if The installed version matches 24.01.00.26 or falls within the affected version range
  2. Locate the web administration panel login page
    Access the CashDro 3 web admin panel via its default HTTP/HTTPS port (commonly port 80, 443, or a custom web interface port documented in your deployment)
    Affected if The login page is accessible over the network
  3. Verify PIN-based authentication is in use
    Examine the login form fields - if the authentication mechanism accepts only numeric input (typically 4-6 digits) without requiring alphanumeric credentials, PIN-only authentication is enabled
    Affected if The login form accepts only numeric PIN input for authentication
  4. Test for brute-force protection
    Attempt multiple failed login attempts (e.g., 5-10 incorrect PINs) in quick succession without any delay or captcha, observing whether the system blocks, locks, or rate-limits further attempts
    Affected if No account lockout, rate limiting, or captcha is triggered after repeated failed attempts - the system remains accessible for additional PIN guesses

You are affected if CashDro 3 version 24.01.00.26 is running and the admin panel uses numeric PIN authentication without any brute-force protection mechanisms.
