CVE-2019-7846
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 · uneditedAdobe Campaign Classic version 18.10.5-8984 and earlier versions have an Improper error handling vulnerability. Successful exploitation could lead to Information Disclosure in the context of the current 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 · moderate confidenceAdobe Campaign Classic has an improper error handling vulnerability where error messages or stack traces are not properly sanitized before being displayed to users, allowing authenticated users to potentially access sensitive system information, file paths, or configuration details through error output.

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.
-
Check Adobe Campaign versionAccess the Adobe Campaign Classic client or admin console and navigate to the About or Version information section. Alternatively, check the installation directory for a version file or run the command 'nlserver -version' if applicable.Affected if The installed version is 18.10.5.8984 or lower.
-
Identify error handling configurationLocate the Adobe Campaign configuration files, typically in the conf directory of the installation path. Look for files such as serverConf.xml, appConf.xml, or similar configuration files that control error handling behavior.Affected if Configuration files exist and are accessible.
-
Trigger a test error conditionSubmit invalid or malformed input to a web form, API endpoint, or workflow within Adobe Campaign that is likely to cause an error, such as a workflow with a deliberate syntax error or a form submission with unexpected data types.Affected if The error output returned to the user contains sensitive information such as full file paths, server configuration details, stack traces, or database connection strings.
-
Check debug mode settingsExamine the configuration files for settings related to debug, verbose error output, or detailed exception reporting. Look for parameters like 'debug', 'showError', 'stackTrace', or similar flags.Affected if Debug or verbose error reporting is enabled in the configuration.
-
Review custom error handling codeInspect any custom JavaScript or JSP files within the Adobe Campaign installation that handle exceptions or error conditions. Check if they explicitly sanitize or mask sensitive data before returning error responses.Affected if Custom error handlers exist and do not sanitize error messages before display.
A user is affected if their Adobe Campaign version is 18.10.5.8984 or lower AND detailed error messages, file paths, or system information are visible in error outputs triggered during normal or test operations.

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 dataImplement proper error handling that catches exceptions at the application level, sanitizes or masks sensitive information in error messages, and displays user-friendly generic messages while logging detailed errors server-side for administrator review.
