CVE-2020-36917Public exploit

Credential disclosure via cleartext autoSave cookie

Published Jan 6, 2026 · Updated Jan 6, 2026

Cleartext credential exposure in iDS6 DSSPro Digital Signage System allows remote attackers to intercept passwords in HTTP cookies. When Remember sets autoSave=true, the application stores and transmits the user's password in an unencrypted authentication cookie over HTTP. Man-in-the-middle attackers positioned on the HTTP path need no product account and can recover credentials, but no direct data modification or service interruption is reported.
