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
Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File vulnerability in Hitachi Ops Center Analyzer on Linux (Virtual Strage Software Agent component) allows local users to gain sensitive information. This issue affects Hitachi Ops Center Analyzer: from 10.8.1-00 before 10.9.0-00

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 confidence

Hitachi Ops Center Analyzer's Virtual Storage Software Agent component writes sensitive information (potentially credentials, tokens, or system details) to log files. Local users with access to these log files can read the sensitive data, representing an information disclosure vulnerability.

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. Check Hitachi Ops Center Analyzer version
    Locate and inspect the installed version of Hitachi Ops Center Analyzer. This is typically found in the product's installation directory, often via an About dialog, version file, or installation metadata. Common locations include /opt/hitachi/opscenter/analyzer or similar installation paths.
    Affected if The installed version is 10.8.1-00 or higher but lower than 10.9.0-00
  2. Identify Virtual Storage Software Agent component
    Determine if the Virtual Storage Software Agent component is installed and configured. This is typically part of Hitachi Ops Center Analyzer and may appear as a separate service, agent process, or module within the product.
    Affected if The Virtual Storage Software Agent component is installed and running as part of the Hitachi Ops Center Analyzer deployment
  3. Locate log files from Virtual Storage Software Agent
    Find log files generated by the Virtual Storage Software Agent. These are typically stored in the agent's log directory within the Hitachi Ops Center Analyzer installation path. Look for log files with names containing 'vsagent', 'vssagent', 'virtualstorage', or similar patterns.
    Affected if Log files from the Virtual Storage Software Agent exist in the installation directory
  4. Inspect log file contents for sensitive data
    Examine the log files identified in the previous step. Search for patterns that may indicate sensitive information such as: credentials, passwords, tokens, API keys, system details, or connection strings. Use grep or a text editor to review recent log entries.
    Affected if Log files contain plaintext credentials, authentication tokens, or other sensitive information that should not be exposed

The environment is affected if Hitachi Ops Center Analyzer version 10.8.1-00 through 10.8.x is installed with the Virtual Storage Software Agent component enabled, and that agent's log files contain sensitive information accessible to local users.
