CVE-2022-29071
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 · uneditedThis advisory documents an internally found vulnerability in the on premises deployment model of Arista CloudVision Portal (CVP) where under a certain set of conditions, user passwords can be leaked in the Audit and System logs. The impact of this vulnerability is that the CVP user login passwords might be leaked to other authenticated users.
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 confidenceIn Arista CloudVision Portal on-premises deployments, user login passwords are being written in plain text to Audit and System logs under certain conditions, allowing authenticated users to view other users' credentials.

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 CloudVision Portal versionAccess the CloudVision web interface or use the CLI command 'show version' to retrieve the installed version numberAffected if The version falls within 2020.2.0 through 2022.1.0 inclusive
-
Review Audit logs for plaintext passwordsNavigate to the Audit log section in CloudVision Portal (Operations > Logs > Audit) and search for entries containing visible password strings or login credentials in plain textAffected if Any Audit log entries display user passwords in plaintext
-
Review System logs for plaintext passwordsNavigate to the System log section in CloudVision Portal (Operations > Logs > System) and search for entries containing visible password strings or login credentials in plain textAffected if Any System log entries display user passwords in plaintext
-
Identify affected user accountsCross-reference any discovered plaintext passwords with user accounts in the system to determine which accounts were exposedAffected if Any user accounts had their passwords recorded in logs in plaintext
A system is affected if it runs CloudVision Portal version 2020.2.0 through 2022.1.0 AND plain text passwords are found in either Audit or System logs

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 dataReview and clear affected Audit and System logs immediately; implement log filtering to prevent password capture; apply vendor patches when available.
