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 · unedited
Insufficiently protected credentials in the Intel(R) Team Blue mobile application in all versions may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access.

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 confidence

The Intel Team Blue mobile application stores credentials (passwords, API keys, tokens, or similar secrets) in an insecure manner. An authenticated user with local access to the device can retrieve these insufficiently protected credentials, leading to information disclosure.

MitigationImplement platform-native secure credential storage mechanisms (Android Keystore, iOS Keychain) or proper encryption for storing sensitive credentials; avoid storing credentials in plaintext, shared preferences, or unencrypted files.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm Intel Team Blue app is installed
    Check device application list for 'Intel Team Blue' or 'Team Blue' and verify it is the Intel mobile application
    Affected if The Intel Team Blue mobile application is present on the device
  2. Identify app data storage location
    On Android: examine /data/data/com.intel.teamblue/ or equivalent package directory; On iOS: examine the app sandbox container
    Affected if App data directory exists and contains the application files
  3. Inspect shared preferences or plist files for credentials
    On Android: review shared_prefs/*.xml files; On iOS: review *.plist files in the app sandbox for stored username/password pairs, API keys, tokens, or similar secrets
    Affected if Credentials or secrets are found stored in plaintext in configuration files
  4. Check for unencrypted credential storage in app databases or files
    Examine SQLite databases (*.db) and plain text files in the app data directory for any stored passwords, API keys, tokens, or authentication tokens
    Affected if Sensitive credentials are stored in unencrypted databases or text files accessible to the app
  5. Verify credential protection mechanisms
    Check whether stored credentials are encrypted, hashed, or protected using platform-native secure storage (Android Keystore/iOS Keychain) versus stored in plaintext or weakly protected formats
    Affected if Credentials are stored without encryption or proper protection mechanisms

If the Intel Team Blue app is installed and credentials are found stored in plaintext or in unencrypted storage locations without platform-native protection, the environment is affected by this vulnerability.
