CVE-2018-10210
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 · uneditedAn issue was discovered in Vaultize Enterprise File Sharing 17.05.31. Enumeration of users is possible through the password-reset feature.
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 confidenceVaultize Enterprise File Sharing 17.05.31 allows user enumeration through its password-reset functionality. The application likely returns different responses depending on whether a submitted username or email address exists in the system, enabling attackers to identify valid user accounts through automated probing.

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.
-
Confirm Vaultize Enterprise File Sharing versionLocate and inspect the application version information, typically found in the product's about page, system information, or installation directory metadata. Compare against version 17.05.31.Affected if The installed version is exactly 17.05.31
-
Locate the password reset endpointIdentify the URL path used for password reset functionality in the Vaultize web interface. Common patterns include /forgot-password, /reset-password, or similar. Check the application's authentication pages.Affected if The password reset functionality is accessible and operational
-
Test response with non-existent userSubmit a password reset request using a username or email address that does not exist in the system. Record the HTTP response status code, response time, and any message text returned.Affected if A specific response is returned indicating the account does not exist or is invalid
-
Test response with valid user accountSubmit a password reset request using a known-valid username or email address that exists in the system. Record the HTTP response status code, response time, and any message text returned.Affected if A different response is returned compared to the non-existent user test, indicating the account exists
-
Compare responses for enumeration vulnerabilityAnalyze the differences between the responses for valid vs invalid user submissions. Look for variations in message content, error text, HTTP status codes, or response timing that would reveal whether an account exists.Affected if Responses differ between valid and invalid accounts, allowing an attacker to enumerate valid users
A user is affected if Vaultize Enterprise File Sharing version 17.05.31 is installed and the password reset function returns distinguishable responses for valid versus invalid user accounts.

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 dataModify the password-reset mechanism to return consistent responses regardless of whether the submitted identifier corresponds to a valid account, preventing enumeration while maintaining the legitimate password-reset functionality.
