CVE-2013-4733
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThe web server on the Digital Alert Systems DASDEC EAS device before 2.0-2 and the Monroe Electronics R189 One-Net EAS device before 2.0-2 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive configuration and status information by reading log files.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThe web server on Digital Alert Systems DASDEC and Monroe Electronics R189 One-Net EAS (Emergency Alert System) devices before version 2.0-2 contains an information disclosure vulnerability where sensitive configuration and status information is exposed through accessible log files, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to read these files.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify the device modelAccess the device web interface or check physical device labeling to confirm it is a Digital Alert Systems DASDEC or Monroe Electronics R189 One-Net EAS deviceAffected if The device is not a DASDEC or R189 One-Net EAS, then this CVE does not apply
-
Determine the installed firmware versionLog into the device web admin panel and navigate to the System Status or About section to view the firmware version, or use the command line interface and run 'version' or 'show system info' if availableAffected if The firmware version is 2.0-0 or 2.0-1 or any version <= 2.0-1 (versions 2.0-2 and later are patched)
-
Verify web server is accessibleAttempt to reach the device web interface by entering its IP address in a web browser to confirm the HTTP service is runningAffected if The web server is exposed to untrusted networks, enabling unauthenticated attackers to potentially access log files
-
Test for accessible log filesTry accessing common log file URLs such as /log.txt, /logs, /status.log, or /config.log via the web browser without authenticationAffected if Log files are accessible without authentication and contain sensitive configuration or status information
The environment is affected if the device is a DASDEC or R189 One-Net EAS running firmware version 2.0-0 or 2.0-1 (or any version <= 2.0-1) with an accessible web server that allows unauthenticated access to log files.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpgrade affected devices to firmware version 2.0-2 or later to patch the vulnerability. If immediate patching is not feasible, implement network segmentation and firewall rules to restrict unauthorized access to the device web server.
