Exploitation Conditions

No special conditions beyond network reachability - the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) confirms remote, unauthenticated exploitation with no user interaction, and the description states the key-deriving properties 'can be obtained without authentication.' The required prerequisite is network access to a vulnerable Slican exchange (IPx <6.61.0040, CCT-1668 <6.56.0430, MAC-6400 <6.56.0430, CXS-0424 <6.30.0510, or any EOL 4.xx-and-below CCT-1668/MAC-6400/CXS-0424 unit). The principal limiting factor is exposure: an exchange isolated on a trusted management segment and unreachable from attacker-controlled networks cannot be targeted, since the weakness has no remote-bypass component other than reaching the device.

Impact

All signals point to a genuine, high-priority exposure for internet- or LAN-reachable Slican units. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity, no-authentication, no-user-interaction attack that fully compromises confidentiality (admin credentials), with no integrity or availability impact directly from the disclosure itself - consistent with the 8.7 'High' score and the 'Information Disclosure' tag. The practical impact is larger than the confidentiality-only vector suggests, because the leaked credentials grant administrative control as a follow-on. No EPSS score, KEV entry, POC, or SSVC decision data was provided, so exploitation likelihood cannot be quantified from this dataset; the absence of those signals lowers the immediacy somewhat but does not reduce the severity of the underlying weakness, which is deterministic and reliable once understood. The 'Microsoft' tag in the input appears spurious/mislabeled - Slican is a Polish telephony vendor and the tag should be disregarded.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who can reach a Slican exchange over the network queries the device's unauthenticated properties, feeds them into the predictable key-derivation routine to reconstruct the secure key, and uses it to recover the administrator credentials. With admin access the attacker can reconfigure the PBX - for example to reroute or eavesdrop on calls or commit toll fraud. No public exploit was identified at time of analysis, but the low complexity and lack of authentication make reliable exploitation straightforward once the algorithm is known.

AnalysisAIv1 – May 27, 2026

Predictable secure-key generation in Slican telephone exchanges (IPx, CCT-1668, MAC-6400, and CXS-0424 series) lets a remote unauthenticated attacker reconstruct the device's secure key from exchange properties that are readable without credentials, then derive administrator credentials. The flaw is network-reachable with low attack complexity and no authentication (CVSS 4.0 base 8.7), and while fixed firmware is available for supported lines, discontinued 4.xx and earlier units remain permanently exposed. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.

RemediationAI

Apply the vendor-released patches to the exact fixed firmware: IPx series 6.61.0040, CCT-1668 6.56.0430, MAC-6400 6.56.0430, and CXS-0424 6.30.0510, then rotate the administrator credentials since any previously exposed key allowed them to be derived. For the End-Of-Life CCT-1668, MAC-6400, and CXS-0424 units on 4.xx and below, no software fix is possible without a hardware upgrade, so contact Slican's service department about replacement or hardware-update options. Until patched, reduce exposure by restricting network reachability of the exchange's management and key-serving interfaces to a trusted management VLAN, blocking access from the internet and untrusted segments at the firewall, and monitoring for unexpected administrative logins - note these are containment measures only and do not eliminate the deterministic key derivation, so credential rotation alone is insufficient on an unpatched device because the key can simply be recomputed.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Slican manufactures IP and TDM private branch exchange (PBX) systems used for business telephony; the affected lines are the IPx series and the legacy CCT-1668 (CCT1CPU), MAC-6400, and CXS-0424 platforms. The root cause maps to CWE-1391 (Use of Weak Credentials): rather than generating the 'secure key' from sufficient entropy, the exchange derives it deterministically from device properties that are queryable over the network without authentication. Because those inputs are observable, the key space collapses and the key - and the admin credentials protected by it - become computable. EUVD affected-version ranges (ipx <6.61.0040, CCT-1668 <6.56.0430, MAC-6400 <6.56.0430, CXS-0424 <6.30.0510) identify the exact firmware boundaries; no CPE strings were supplied in this dataset.

DescriptionCVE.org

In Slican telephone exchanges secure key is generated in a predictable manner using properties of the telephone exchange which can be obtained without authentication. An unauthenticated attacker can deduce the secure key and obtain admin credentials.

This issue was fixed in versions below:

  • 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

Why It Matters

Slican telephone exchanges (IPx, CCT-1668, MAC-6400, CXS-0424 series) contain a critical vulnerability enabling unauthenticated remote attackers to derive administrator credentials, potentially granting full control of voice infrastructure. Organizations using discontinued 4.xx and earlier models lack vendor patches and face permanent exposure until hardware replacement.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

For supported product lines: Apply vendor patch immediately. For discontinued 4.xx and earlier units with no available patch: implement network segmentation to restrict management interface access, enforce multi-factor authentication on perimeter controls, disable remote management protocols where possible, and prioritize replacement with current-generation hardware.
