Authentication Bypass in Slican telephone exchanges

In Slican telephone exchanges it is possible to manage the control panel remotely. An unauthenticated attacker can connect to the modem via a telephone with a specific caller ID. This allows them to bypass admin authentication and gain full access to the service protocol and configuration panel. This vulnerability is independent of the telephone exchanges configuration. If remote access is disabled, calling with this caller ID will temporarily enable it.

This issue was fixed in versions below:
- IPL-256: version 6.61.0040
