user\s*==\s*'([^']*)'\s*&&\s*password\s*==\s*'([^']*)'
  • Send an unauthenticated HTTP GET request to /controlloLogin.js on Electrolink transmitters. A vulnerable response will return HTTP 200 with Content-Type application/x-javascript and a body containing cleartext credentials in the pattern: user == '<creds>' && password == '<creds>'.
  • Match response body for the strings 'user==' and 'password==' to confirm credential disclosure in controlloLogin.js.
  • Use FOFA query 'Electrolink s.r.l.' to identify internet-exposed Electrolink transmitter management interfaces for targeted scanning.
  • Extract cleartext credentials from the response body using the regex: user\s*==\s*'([^']*)'\s*&&\s*password\s*==\s*'([^']*)'
  • ·No authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability; the credentials file is publicly accessible to any network-reachable attacker.
  • ·Credentials are stored in cleartext (CWE-312) within a JavaScript file, meaning any intercepted or directly fetched copy of controlloLogin.js exposes valid system credentials.
