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
An issue was discovered in Idelji Web ViewPoint H01ABO-H01BY and L01ABP-L01ABZ, Web ViewPoint Plus H01AAG-H01AAQ and L01AAH-L01AAR, and Web ViewPoint Enterprise H01-H01AAE and L01-L01AAF. By reading ADB or AADB file content within the Installation subvolume, a Guardian user can discover the password of the group.user or alias who acknowledges events from the WVP Events screen.

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 confidence

In Idelji Web ViewPoint, Guardian users can read ADB or AADB files within the Installation subvolume that contain plaintext or weakly protected passwords for group.user or alias accounts used to acknowledge events from the WVP Events screen. This allows privilege escalation through credential disclosure.

MitigationRestrict file system permissions on ADB/AADB files to prevent unauthorized access, implement proper password hashing/encryption for stored credentials, and rotate any compromised passwords.

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. Identify Web ViewPoint installation
    Locate the Idelji or Hp Web ViewPoint application on the system and confirm its product name matches the affected software
    Affected if The product is not Web ViewPoint or the version cannot be determined as within the affected ranges
  2. Determine installed version
    Retrieve the exact version number of the Web ViewPoint installation (for example, from installation metadata, about screen, or version file) and compare it against the affected ranges: T0320 (t0320h01^abo through t0320h01^aby, or t0320l01^abp through t0320l01^abz), T0952 (t0952h01^aag through t0952h01^aaq, or t0952l01^aah through t0952l01^aar), T0986 (t0320l01^abp through t0320l01^abz, or t0986h01 through t0986h01^aae)
    Affected if The installed version falls within any of the listed affected ranges
  3. Locate ADB/AADB files
    Search for files with .adb or .aadb extension within the Installation subvolume directory of the Web ViewPoint application
    Affected if ADB or AADB files exist in the Installation subvolume
  4. Inspect credential storage
    Open or read the ADB/AADB files and examine whether they contain plaintext passwords or weakly protected credentials for group.user or alias accounts used for WVP Events screen acknowledgment
    Affected if The files contain plaintext or weakly protected passwords for group.user or alias accounts
  5. Verify file permissions
    Check the access permissions on the ADB/AADB files to determine if unauthorized users other than intended administrators can read these files
    Affected if File permissions allow non-administrative users to read the ADB/AADB files

A user is affected if they run a Web ViewPoint version within the specified ranges AND have ADB/AADB files in the Installation subvolume that are readable by non-admin users and contain plaintext or weakly protected credentials.
