CVE-2022-39821
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 NOKIA 1350 OMS R14.2, an Insertion of Sensitive Information into an Application Log File vulnerability occurs. The web application stores critical information, such as cleartext user credentials, in world-readable files in the filesystem.
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 confidenceThe Nokia 1350 OMS R14.2 web application has an information disclosure vulnerability where it writes sensitive information, including cleartext user credentials, to log files. These log files are stored with world-readable permissions on the filesystem, allowing any local user to access and read the 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 Nokia 1350 OMS installation and versionLocate the Nokia 1350 Optical Management System installation directory and determine if version 14.2 is running. Check for installation paths typical for this application or consult system inventory tools.Affected if The system is running Nokia 1350 Optical Management System version 14.2
-
Locate log files created by the applicationSearch for log directories and files within the Nokia 1350 OMS installation path. Common log locations include logs/, var/log/, or application-specific subdirectories.Affected if Log files exist in the application directory structure
-
Verify log file permissions are world-readableUse the 'ls -la' command or equivalent file permission check on the identified log files and directories. Look for permissions that include 'r--r--r--' or similar world-readable settings.Affected if Log files or their containing directory grant read access to all users (o+r permission)
-
Inspect log files for sensitive credentialsRead the log files using cat, less, or similar tools. Search for patterns indicating user credentials such as 'password', 'credential', 'user', 'auth', or base64-encoded strings that may represent cleartext passwords.Affected if Log files contain cleartext user credentials or sensitive authentication information
A system is affected if it runs Nokia 1350 OMS version 14.2 with world-readable log files containing sensitive credentials.

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 dataRestrict file permissions on log directories and files to prevent unauthorized access, and modify the application logging to exclude sensitive credentials or implement credential masking.
