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
Webvendome - webvendome Internal Server IP Disclosure. Send GET Request to the request which is shown in the picture. Internal Server IP and Full path disclosure.

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

Webvendome contains an information disclosure vulnerability where a specific GET request reveals the internal server IP address and full file system path in the server response. This occurs due to improper error handling or verbose error messages that expose internal infrastructure details.

MitigationConfigure the application to return generic error messages and suppress detailed server information. Implement proper error handling that masks internal IPs and file paths, and ensure production servers are configured with debug mode disabled.

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 Webvendome version
    Identify the installed version of Webvendome by reviewing application files, version endpoints, or HTTP headers. Compare against the affected version 1.0.
    Affected if The installed version is Webvendome 1.0
  2. Send GET request and inspect for internal IP disclosure
    Send a GET request to the Webvendome web endpoint and examine the response body and headers. Search for any internal or private IP addresses (such as 192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, 127.0.0.1) appearing in the response.
    Affected if The response contains an internal IP address that should not be publicly exposed
  3. Check for file path disclosure in error responses
    Trigger error conditions by sending various GET requests to different endpoints. Capture the error messages returned and inspect for absolute file system paths (for example, paths containing /var/, /home/, C:\, or application directory structures).
    Affected if Error responses reveal full file system paths
  4. Review error message verbosity
    Send malformed requests or invalid parameters to provoke error conditions. Examine whether the returned error messages contain detailed server information such as stack traces, server banners, or configuration details beyond generic messages.
    Affected if Error messages expose detailed internal infrastructure information

If Webvendome 1.0 is running and GET requests return internal IP addresses or file system paths in the response, the environment is affected by CVE-2022-39178.
