CVE-2022-49037
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 · uneditedInsertion of sensitive information into log file vulnerability in proxy settings component in Synology Drive Client before 3.3.0-15082 allows remote authenticated users to obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors.
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 proxy settings component in Synology Drive Client versions prior to 3.3.0-15082 writes sensitive information (likely proxy credentials or configuration data) to log files. Authenticated remote users can exploit this to read the sensitive data from those logs.

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 Synology Drive Client versionOpen Synology Drive Client and navigate to Help > About, or check the installed programs list in your system settings to find the version numberAffected if The installed version is lower than 3.3.0-15082
-
Check if proxy settings are configuredOpen Synology Drive Client settings and look for proxy or network configuration options. Determine if any proxy server settings have been configuredAffected if Proxy settings are enabled and configured with credentials or sensitive proxy authentication data
-
Locate Synology Drive Client log filesSearch common log directories (such as the application data folder, user profile AppData directory, or the application's log folder) for Synology Drive Client log filesAffected if Log files exist in typical application data locations
-
Inspect log files for sensitive dataOpen recent log files and search for keywords such as 'proxy', 'password', 'credential', 'auth', or look for any plain-text sensitive strings that may have been inadvertently loggedAffected if Log files contain proxy credentials, usernames, passwords, or other sensitive authentication data in plain text
You are affected if Synology Drive Client version is below 3.3.0-15082 AND proxy settings with authentication are configured AND those credentials appear in log files.
