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 · unedited
Open Redirect vulnerability in Hitachi Device Manager before 8.5.2-01 and Hitachi Tuning Manager before 8.5.2-00 allows remote attackers to redirect authenticated users to arbitrary web sites.

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 · moderate confidence

Open redirect vulnerability in Hitachi Device Manager and Tuning Manager allows authenticated users to be redirected to arbitrary external websites due to insufficient validation of redirect parameters in the application.

MitigationApply vendor patches: upgrade Hitachi Device Manager to 8.5.2-01 or later, and Tuning Manager to 8.5.2-00 or later, which implement proper URL validation for redirect parameters.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Check Hitachi Device Manager version
    Access the Device Manager web interface and navigate to the About or Version section, or examine version files in the installation directory
    Affected if Installed version is 8.5.2 or lower
  2. Check Hitachi Tuning Manager version
    Access the Tuning Manager admin console or check version information in the installation directory
    Affected if Installed version is 8.5.2 or lower (if Tuning Manager is deployed)
  3. Test redirect parameter with authenticated session
    Log in as a valid user and attempt to access the application with a crafted URL containing a redirect parameter pointing to an external domain (such as ?redirect=http://example.com)
    Affected if Application redirects to the arbitrary external URL without proper validation

Environment is affected if Hitachi Device Manager (or Tuning Manager) version is 8.5.2 or lower and the redirect parameter can be manipulated to send authenticated users to external websites.

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 data
Upgrade available Upgrade to a release after 8.5.2
Interim mitigation

Apply vendor patches: upgrade Hitachi Device Manager to 8.5.2-01 or later, and Tuning Manager to 8.5.2-00 or later, which implement proper URL validation for redirect parameters.
