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
IBM Aspera Console 3.4.0 through 3.4.4 could disclose sensitive information in HTTP headers that could be used in further attacks against the system.

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

IBM Aspera Console versions 3.4.0 through 3.4.4 contains a vulnerability where sensitive information is disclosed in HTTP response headers. This information disclosure could enable attackers to gather reconnaissance details (such as internal paths, authentication tokens, or server details) to facilitate more targeted follow-on attacks against the system.

MitigationUpgrade to IBM Aspera Console version 3.4.5 or later. As an interim measure, review and configure web server settings to sanitize or redact sensitive information from HTTP headers.
