CVE-2022-25518
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 · uneditedIn CMDBuild from version 3.0 to 3.3.2 payload requests are saved in a temporary log table, which allows attackers with database access to read the password of the users who login to the application by querying the database table.
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 confidenceCMDBuild versions 3.0-3.3.2 insecurely store login request payloads containing user credentials in a temporary database log table. An attacker with database access can read this table to obtain plaintext or recoverable user 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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Determine installed CMDBuild versionLocate and inspect the CMDBuild version file or check the application banner/admin interface for the exact version number deployed in your environmentAffected if The installed version is >= 3.0 and <= 3.3.2
-
Identify the login request log tableQuery your database for tables that store HTTP request payloads or login-related logging, typically a temporary or transient log table within the CMDBuild schemaAffected if A log table exists that records login request payloads during the authentication process
-
Verify credential storage formatExamine the identified log table contents to determine if user credentials (passwords) are stored in plaintext or in a recoverable encoding rather than being hashed or omittedAffected if The log table contains plaintext, base64-encoded, or otherwise recoverable user passwords from login requests
-
Assess database access controlsReview database user accounts, roles, and permissions to determine if any account with access to the log table is accessible to unauthorized users or applicationsAffected if Database access controls permit accounts other than trusted administrators to read the log table containing credentials
You are affected if your CMDBuild version is between 3.0 and 3.3.2 and the temporary log table containing login request payloads with plaintext or recoverable passwords is accessible to any user beyond trusted administrators.

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 CMDBuild beyond version 3.3.2. If upgrade is not feasible, implement strict database access controls, remove or encrypt the log table contents, and monitor for unauthorized database queries.
