| Exploitation Conditions | The attacker must have network reachability to the Slican exchange's administrative management protocol and then execute a specific command that bypasses credential entry; per the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) no authentication, no privileges, and no user interaction are required against affected versions. The primary limiting factor is exposure of the administrative protocol - PBX management interfaces are commonly segmented to internal or management networks, so an attacker typically needs access to that network rather than arbitrary internet access. The other limiting factor is version: devices running the fixed versions (NCP 1.24.0250, IPx 6.61.0040, CCT-1668/MAC-6400 6.56.0430, CXS-0424 6.30.0510) are not vulnerable, while EOL CCT-1668/MAC-6400/CXS-0424 units at 4.xx and below remain exploitable with no software remedy. |
| Impact | All available signals point to genuine high priority. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity attack requiring no privileges, no special attack requirements, and no user interaction, with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability (VC:H/VI:H/VA:H) - i.e., a complete administrative compromise of the telephony system. The 9.3 base score is consistent with this vector. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public proof-of-concept were provided in the input, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation; the risk rating therefore rests on exploitability characteristics rather than observed attacks. The most important nuance is exposure: PBX administrative interfaces are frequently confined to internal/management networks, so real-world reachability depends heavily on whether the admin protocol is exposed to untrusted networks - a device behind proper network segmentation faces materially lower practical risk than the raw AV:N score suggests. The standout durable risk is the EOL fleet (CCT-1668, MAC-6400, CXS-0424 at 4.xx and below), which will never receive a software-only fix. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with network access to a Slican exchange's administrative protocol connects to the management interface and, instead of supplying valid operator credentials, issues the specific command that bypasses the login check, immediately obtaining administrative access. From there the attacker can reconfigure call routing, intercept or reroute calls, exfiltrate configuration, or disable the exchange. No public proof-of-concept was identified in the available data, but the low attack complexity and lack of any authentication or user interaction make exploitation straightforward for anyone who can reach the interface. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – May 27, 2026
Authentication bypass in Slican telephone exchanges (NCP, IPx, CCT-1668, MAC-6400, and CXS-0424 PBX systems) lets a remote attacker skip credential entry on the administrative protocol simply by issuing a specific command, granting full administrative control of the exchange. The flaw was reported by CERT Polska (cert.pl), carries a CVSS 4.0 base score of 9.3, and has no public exploit identified at time of analysis; however, the high score reflects unauthenticated network-reachable access with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. Fixed firmware is available for current models, but the issue remains permanently unpatched on End-Of-Life CCT-1668, MAC-6400, and CXS-0424 units running version 4.xx and below.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patches are available - upgrade NCP to 1.24.0250, IPx series to 6.61.0040, CCT-1668 to 6.56.0430, MAC-6400 to 6.56.0430, and CXS-0424 to 6.30.0510 (or later) as the primary fix. For the End-Of-Life CCT-1668 (CCT1CPU), MAC-6400, and CXS-0424 units on version 4.xx and below, no software-only fix exists; the vendor states these require a hardware update to receive updated software and recommends contacting the Slican service department directly to determine upgrade options. Until devices are patched or replaced, restrict reachability of the administrative management protocol by placing exchanges on an isolated management VLAN and blocking the admin protocol port at network boundaries and firewalls so it is not reachable from user or internet-facing segments - the trade-off is that legitimate remote administration must then traverse a VPN or jump host. Monitor the management interface for unexpected administrative sessions or commands as a detective control.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Slican is a Polish manufacturer of IP/TDM private branch exchange (PBX) telephony systems used by businesses and institutions; the affected lines include the NCP and IPx series gateways/exchanges and the older CCT-1668, MAC-6400, and CXS-0424 chassis. The vulnerability lies in the device's administrative management protocol, which is intended to require operator login credentials before granting configuration access. The root cause is classified as CWE-288 (Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel): the description indicates that issuing 'the appropriate command' allows an attacker to reach administrative functionality through a path that does not enforce the normal credential check, effectively providing an alternate, unauthenticated channel into the management interface.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Slican telephone exchanges allow administrative protocol authentication bypass. An attacker can bypass the need to enter login credentials by executing the appropriate command.
This issue was fixed in versions below:
- NCP: version 1.24.0250
- IPx series: version 6.61.0040
- CCT-1668: version 6.56.0430
- MAC-6400: version 6.56.0430
- CXS-0424: version 6.30.0510
The issue STILL EXISTS in End-Of-Life telephone exchanges in versions 4.xx and below:
- CCT-1668 (CCT1CPU)
- MAC-6400
- CXS-0424
These products were discontinued in 2011 and 2012 and and will not receive updates. These products require a hardware update in order to receive a software update. The vendor recommends that users of these devices contact the their service department directly to determine the options for upgrading.
Executive ViewAI
Slican PBX telephone systems contain an unauthenticated remote authentication bypass (CVE-2026-35087, CVSS 9.3) allowing attackers to seize administrative control without credentials. This directly threatens organizations' voice infrastructure availability, confidentiality, and integrity. Firmware patches are available for current models; however, End-Of-Life units (CCT-1668, MAC-6400, CXS-0424) remain permanently vulnerable.
For current models: apply vendor-released firmware. For permanently unpatched EOL models: implement network segmentation to restrict administrative access to trusted management networks only; enable detailed audit logging of all administrative interface access and commands; conduct expedited replacement or decommissioning planning.
