CVE-2019-19000
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 · uneditedFor ABB eSOMS 4.0 to 6.0.3, the Cache-Control and Pragma HTTP header(s) have not been properly configured within the application response. This can potentially allow browsers and proxies to cache sensitive information.
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 confidenceABB eSOMS versions 4.0 through 6.0.3 fail to set proper Cache-Control and Pragma HTTP headers in application responses, allowing browsers and intermediate proxies to cache sensitive data displayed in the application.

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 installed eSOMS versionLocate the version information in the application administration panel, system information page, or check the software release documentation shipped with the installationAffected if the installed version is between 4.0 and 6.0.3 inclusive
-
Capture HTTP response headers from the applicationUse browser developer tools (Network tab), curl -I command, or a proxy tool to capture HTTP response headers from the running applicationAffected if Cache-Control and Pragma headers are absent from responses containing sensitive user data
-
Inspect headers on sensitive pagesNavigate to pages displaying sensitive operational data such as reports, documents, or user-specific information and examine the response headers for those endpointsAffected if sensitive pages return without Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache or Pragma: no-cache headers
-
Check proxy caching behaviorVerify whether intermediate proxies or CDNs are caching content by examining cached responses or using cache inspection toolsAffected if proxy servers are storing and serving cached copies of sensitive application responses
You are affected if the installed eSOMS version is between 4.0 and 6.0.3 and HTTP responses containing sensitive data lack proper Cache-Control and Pragma headers.

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 dataConfigure Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate and Pragma: no-cache headers on all application responses containing sensitive information, typically at the web server or application framework level.
