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 Temporary File vulnerability in Hitachi Infrastructure Analytics Advisor on Linux (Analytics probe component), Hitachi Ops Center Analyzer on Linux (Hitachi Ops Center Analyzer probe component) allows local users to gain sensitive information. This issue affects Hitachi Infrastructure Analytics Advisor: from 2.0.0-00 through 4.4.0-00; Hitachi Ops Center Analyzer: from 10.0.0-00 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

A local information disclosure vulnerability exists in Hitachi Infrastructure Analytics Advisor and Hitachi Ops Center Analyzer probe components on Linux, where sensitive information is written to temporary files with insufficient access controls. Local users can read these temp files to obtain sensitive data.

MitigationApply the vendor-provided patches to upgrade to version 4.4.0-01 or later for Hitachi Infrastructure Analytics Advisor, and version 10.9.0-00 or later for Hitachi Ops Center Analyzer. As a compensating control, restrict access to temporary directories and monitor for unauthorized file access.

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 if Hitachi Infrastructure Analytics Advisor is installed
    Run 'rpm -qa | grep -i Hitachi' or 'dpkg -l | grep -i Hitachi' to list installed Hitachi packages. Look for package names containing 'Infrastructure Analytics Advisor' or 'HIAA'.
    Affected if The product is installed and its version falls between 2.0.0-00 and 4.4.0-00 inclusive.
  2. Check if Hitachi Ops Center Analyzer is installed
    Run 'rpm -qa | grep -i Hitachi' or 'dpkg -l | grep -i Hitachi' to list installed Hitachi packages. Look for package names containing 'Ops Center Analyzer' or 'Analyzer' probe components.
    Affected if The product is installed and its version is 10.0.0-00 or higher but lower than 10.9.0-00.
  3. Determine the exact installed version of Infrastructure Analytics Advisor
    Run 'rpm -q' or 'dpkg -s' against the identified HIAA package name to retrieve the full version string (for example: 4.4.0-00). Compare this version to the affected range 2.0.0-00 through 4.4.0-00.
    Affected if The version is 2.0.0-00 or higher and 4.4.0-00 or lower.
  4. Determine the exact installed version of Ops Center Analyzer
    Run 'rpm -q' or 'dpkg -s' against the identified Analyzer package name to retrieve the full version string. Compare this version to the affected range 10.0.0-00 through 10.8.x-x.
    Affected if The version is 10.0.0-00 or higher and lower than 10.9.0-00.
  5. Inspect temporary file permissions (compensating control verification)
    Examine the /tmp directory and any application-specific temp directories used by the Hitachi products. Use 'ls -la /tmp' and check for files owned by the Hitachi application users with permissions more permissive than 600 (such as 644 or world-readable).
    Affected if Temporary files created by the Hitachi products are readable by other local users (permissions 644, 664, or world-readable).

A user is affected if either Hitachi Infrastructure Analytics Advisor version 2.0.0-00 through 4.4.0-00 or Hitachi Ops Center Analyzer version 10.0.0-00 through 10.8.x-x is installed on Linux, and temporary files with overly permissive permissions exist on the system.
