CVE-2022-34826
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 Couchbase Server 7.1.x before 7.1.1, an encrypted Private Key passphrase may be leaked in the logs.
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 Couchbase Server 7.1.x before 7.1.1, an encrypted private key passphrase may be inadvertently written to log files, exposing sensitive credential information through log leakage.

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 installed Couchbase Server versionRun the command 'couchbase-server -version' or check the About page in the Couchbase Admin UI to confirm the exact version numberAffected if Version is exactly 7.1.0
-
Check for TLS/SSL configuration with encrypted private keysReview Couchbase Server SSL/TLS settings in the Admin UI under Settings > Security, or inspect configuration files for references to private key passphrase or encrypted key filesAffected if TLS is configured using an encrypted private key that requires a passphrase to load
-
Examine log files for passphrase leakageSearch Couchbase Server log directories (typically under /opt/couchbase/var/lib/couchbase/logs/) for patterns matching passphrase or credential-like strings in plaintextAffected if Log files contain any plaintext passphrase or credential strings associated with private key loading
User is affected if running exactly Couchbase Server 7.1.0 with TLS configured using an encrypted private key, and log files contain the exposed passphrase

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.
dbcve · scopedUpgrade to Couchbase Server 7.1.1 or later. Review and securely dispose of existing log files that may contain the leaked passphrase.
Couchbase Server 7.1.1 or later
- Stop the Couchbase Server 7.1.0 service
- Back up the Couchbase data directory and configuration files
- Follow the Couchbase upgrade documentation for your platform to upgrade to version 7.1.1 or later
- After upgrade, review log files to confirm no sensitive passphrase information remains
- Restart the Couchbase Server service
