CVE-2024-6656: Hardcoded Credentals in TNB Mobile Solutions' Cockpit Software
Use of Hard-coded Credentials vulnerability in TNB Mobile Solutions Cockpit Software allows Read Sensitive Strings Within an Executable.
This issue affects Cockpit Software: before v2.13.
Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
TNB Mobile Solutions Cockpit Software before v2.13 contains hard-coded credentials. If the software is reachable or distributed to untrusted users, an unauthenticated attacker may recover sensitive strings from the executable. The main business risk is confidentiality loss, with limited integrity impact reported.
Executive priority
Treat as a high-priority remediation for any confirmed Cockpit Software deployment, especially if reachable by untrusted users or networks. Prioritize inventory first because affected-product evidence is narrow.
Technical view
CVE-2024-6656 is a CWE-798 hard-coded credentials issue in Cockpit Software before v2.13. CVSS 4.0 is 8.8 high with network attack vector, low complexity, no privileges, and no user interaction. The record describes reading sensitive strings within an executable.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to environments running TNB Mobile Solutions Cockpit Software before v2.13. The source bundle provides no CPEs and has sparse affected-version detail, so asset confirmation is required.
Exploitation context
The source bundle does not show CISA KEV listing or cited evidence of active exploitation. The CVSS vector indicates remote, unauthenticated exploitability, but no public exploit status is provided.
Researcher notes
The CVE data is concise and version metadata is incomplete: the description says before v2.13, while the affected block lists version 0 and defaultStatus unaffected. Do not expand scope beyond Cockpit Software without vendor confirmation.
Mitigation direction
Inventory all TNB Mobile Solutions Cockpit Software installations.
Check vendor or government advisory guidance for the supported upgrade path.
Upgrade systems running Cockpit Software before v2.13 where applicable.
Restrict Cockpit Software access to trusted administrative networks until remediated.
Review exposed secrets or credentials that may have been embedded.
Validation and detection
Confirm installed Cockpit Software versions across endpoints and servers.
Flag any installation reported below v2.13 for remediation.
Review vendor advisory details before treating v2.13 as fully remediated.
Check whether the application is reachable from untrusted networks.
Document any credential rotation required after exposure review.

CWE-798: Credential and account abuse lookup
Authentication and credential weaknesses can make valid-account abuse and credential telemetry useful review starting points. Open the exact CWE lookup page first, then review the ATT&CK searches from that MITRE weakness context. This is a Glexia lookup hint, not an official ATT&CK mapping.
These fields come from the CVE record and ADP containers, not from Glexia's Take. They preserve time-varying source decisions such as CISA SSVC, KEV status, CVSS metrics, and provider references.
We collect every scored CVSS vector available in the official CNA and ADP containers. When more than one version is present, the table keeps the source vectors side by side instead of collapsing them into the highest score.

Use of Hard-coded Credentials
Use of Hard-coded Credentials represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
