CVE-2019-3793
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 · uneditedPivotal Apps Manager Release, versions 665.0.x prior to 665.0.28, versions 666.0.x prior to 666.0.21, versions 667.0.x prior to 667.0.7, contain an invitation service that accepts HTTP. A remote unauthenticated user could listen to network traffic and gain access to the authorization credentials used to make the invitation requests.
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 Pivotal Apps Manager invitation service accepts requests over unencrypted HTTP rather than HTTPS, allowing remote unauthenticated attackers on the same network segment to intercept authorization credentials by sniffing network traffic.

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 Pivotal Application Service versionLocate the installation directory or deployment manifest for Pivotal Application Service and retrieve the exact version number installed in your environmentAffected if The installed version falls within 665.0.0 to 665.0.27, 666.0.0 to 666.0.20, or 667.0.0 to 667.0.6
-
Locate the Apps Manager invitation serviceIdentify whether the Apps Manager component that handles user invitations is deployed and accessible in your environmentAffected if The invitation service is present and operational in your deployment
-
Verify if HTTP is enabled for the invitation serviceCheck the network configuration or service binding for the invitation service to determine whether it listens on unencrypted HTTP (port 80)Affected if The invitation service accepts connections on HTTP port 80 instead of requiring HTTPS only
-
Confirm network exposureDetermine if the invitation service is accessible over the network rather than only on localhost or secured internal interfacesAffected if The HTTP endpoint for the invitation service is reachable from network segments accessible to untrusted users
You are affected if your Pivotal Application Service version is 665.0.0-665.0.27, 666.0.0-666.0.20, or 667.0.0-667.0.6 AND the Apps Manager invitation service accepts unencrypted HTTP connections accessible from your network.

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.
dbcve · scoped665.0.28666.0.21667.0.7
Upgrade to patched versions (665.0.28+, 666.0.21+, 667.0.7+) or configure the invitation service to reject HTTP and only accept HTTPS connections.
665.0.28, 666.0.21, or 667.0.7 (depending on your current major version branch)
- Upgrade Pivotal Apps Manager to version 665.0.28 or later if running 665.0.x
- OR upgrade to version 666.0.21 or later if running 666.0.x
- OR upgrade to version 667.0.7 or later if running 667.0.x
- After upgrading, verify the invitation service is configured to use HTTPS only
- Confirm that network traffic to the invitation service is now encrypted
