CVE-2019-5498
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 Insight versions through 7.3.6 may disclose sensitive account information to an authenticated user.
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 confidenceOnCommand Insight versions through 7.3.6 contain an information disclosure vulnerability allowing authenticated users to access sensitive account information they should not have visibility into. The vulnerability requires valid authentication to exploit, indicating it is likely a broken access control or improper authorization check allowing horizontal or vertical information leakage.

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 Insight is installedIdentify if NetApp OnCommand Insight software is present in the environment. Check for OnCommand Insight processes, services, or installation directories.Affected if OnCommand Insight software is found running or installed on the system
-
Determine installed OnCommand Insight versionLocate and read the OnCommand Insight version information. This is typically accessible through the product's administrative UI, command line interface, or version file within the installation directory.Affected if The installed version is identified as 7.3.6 or earlier (any version through 7.3.6)
-
Verify authentication is enabledConfirm that user authentication is enabled for OnCommand Insight. Check if the system is configured to require valid credentials for access.Affected if Authentication is enabled and users can log in to the system
-
Check for unauthorized access to sensitive account dataReview access logs, audit trails, or security configurations to determine whether lower-privilege authenticated users can access account information outside their authorized scope.Affected if Horizontal or vertical information leakage is observed where users can view sensitive account data they should not have access to
-
Compare version to affected rangeCompare the confirmed installed version against the affected range of <= 7.3.6.Affected if The installed version falls within the affected range (7.3.6 or earlier)
The environment is affected if OnCommand Insight version 7.3.6 or earlier is installed and user authentication is enabled, allowing potential unauthorized access to sensitive account information.

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 dataUpgrade OnCommand Insight to version 7.3.7 or later, which contains the fix for this vulnerability. Verify that user role-based access controls are properly configured post-upgrade.
