Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

CVE-2026-35503 is a critical vulnerability in the web management interface of SenseLive X3050 devices. The flaw arises from authentication logic being performed entirely on the client side, relying on hardcoded values embedded in browser-executed JavaScript rather than server-side verification. This design exposes sensitive parameters that an attacker can extract directly from the login page, corresponding to CWE-798 (Use of Hard-coded Credentials). Published on 2026-04-24, it 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 severity due to network accessibility and comprehensive impact potential.

Any remote attacker with access to the device's login page can exploit this vulnerability without privileges or user interaction. By inspecting the client-side scripts, they can retrieve the hardcoded authentication parameters and bypass login controls to gain unauthorized access to administrative functionality. Successful exploitation enables high-level confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts, such as data exfiltration, configuration changes, or service disruption.

Mitigation guidance is detailed in official advisories, including CISA ICSA-26-111-12 at https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/ics-advisories/icsa-26-111-12 and the corresponding CSAF JSON file at https://github.com/cisagov/CSAF/blob/develop/csaf_files/OT/white/2026/icsa-26-111-12.json.

Mitigating Controls

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 partial match
prevents

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 none match
prevents

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 none match
prevents

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.

prevents

Education on secure configuration practices discourages technical staff from embedding or relying on hard-coded credentials in systems and applications.

mitigates

Secure key-generation, distribution and storage procedures reduce the likelihood that hard-coded or default cryptographic keys will be introduced or left unprotected.

prevents

Explicit prohibition of hard-coded passwords and unauthenticated external services stops credentials from being embedded directly in source code.

prevents

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.
