Summary
CVE-2026-23647 is a critical-severity Use of Hard-coded Credentials (CWE-798) vulnerability in Glory Global (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 9.3 (Critical).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Unsecured Credentials (T1552); ranked at the 45th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to IA-5 (Authenticator Management) and SC-12 (Cryptographic Key Establishment and Management) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2026-23647 is a critical vulnerability in Glory RBG-100 recycler systems that use the ISPK-08 software component. It stems from hard-coded operating system credentials on the underlying Linux system, where multiple local user accounts—including those with administrative privileges—have fixed, embedded passwords. Classified under CWE-798 (Use of Hard-coded Credentials), this flaw allows remote authentication without requiring legitimate user interaction.
Any attacker with network access to exposed services, such as SSH, can exploit the vulnerability by using the known credentials to authenticate. No special privileges, user interaction, or complex conditions are needed, enabling straightforward remote access with elevated privileges and potential full system compromise. The issue carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), reflecting its high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Mitigation guidance is available in advisories from VulnCheck at https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/glory-rbg-100-recycler-system-hard-coded-os-credentials and the vendor Glory Global at https://www.glory-global.com/. The CVE was published on 2026-02-17T17:21:05.040.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Authenticator management requires secure distribution and handling of credentials, structurally discouraging hard-coded values.
Cryptographic key management mandates proper establishment and handling instead of embedding keys in code.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
PR.AA-01's credential/key-management processes can reduce the incentive to embed secrets but do not address or detect hard-coded values in source code, so the weakness remains fully possible.
PR.AA-02 addresses human identity proofing and per-person credential issuance at enrollment; it has no bearing on whether developers embed static credentials in software.
PR.DS-01 addresses encryption and integrity of stored data but never touches credential or key management practices, so it neither prevents hard-coded credentials nor removes any of their risk.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Education on secure configuration practices discourages technical staff from embedding or relying on hard-coded credentials in systems and applications.
Secure key-generation, distribution and storage procedures reduce the likelihood that hard-coded or default cryptographic keys will be introduced or left unprotected.
Explicit prohibition of hard-coded passwords and unauthenticated external services stops credentials from being embedded directly in source code.
Contractual requirements for secure coding practices and evidence of testing make it less likely that hard-coded credentials will be introduced or remain undetected in delivered code.
