CVE-2019-5495
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 · uneditedOnCommand Unified Manager for VMware vSphere, Linux and Windows prior to 9.5 shipped without certain HTTP Security headers configured which could allow an attacker to obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors.
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 confidenceOnCommand Unified Manager versions prior to 9.5 shipped without certain HTTP Security headers configured. Missing security headers (such as HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, or Content-Security-Policy) can allow attackers to obtain sensitive information through vectors like MIME-type sniffing, clickjacking, or protocol downgrade attacks.

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 OnCommand Unified Manager is installedIdentify if OnCommand Unified Manager is present in your environment. Check for the service process or application installation directory typically found under /opt/netapp or /usr/local on Linux systems, or C:\Program Files\NetApp on Windows.Affected if The product is not installed or not accessible - if not present, this CVE does not apply.
-
Determine the installed versionAccess the OnCommand Unified Manager web interface login page or check the software via command line using 'ucmadmin' or similar management utilities provided with the installation. The version is typically displayed on the login page footer or obtainable via 'ucmadmin -v' or the administration console.Affected if Version is 9.5 or later - versions 9.5 and above are NOT affected. Versions prior to 9.5 ARE affected.
-
Inspect HTTP response headers from the web interfaceUsing a browser developer tool (F12 -> Network tab) or a command line tool like curl (run: curl -I https://<your-ocm-server>/ or curl -I http://<your-ocm-server>/), capture the HTTP response headers from the OnCommand Unified Manager login page or any served page.Affected if The response headers are missing any of: Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, or Content-Security-Policy. If all four headers are present with valid values, the environment is NOT affected. If any are missing, the environment IS affected.
You are affected if OnCommand Unified Manager is installed and the version is below 9.5 AND the HTTP responses from its web interface are missing one or more of the four security headers (HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, Content-Security-Policy).

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 data9.5
Configure appropriate HTTP security headers (HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, CSP) in the web server or application server configuration for OnCommand Unified Manager.
