CVE-2023-31300
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 · uneditedAn issue was discovered in Sesami Cash Point & Transport Optimizer (CPTO) version 6.3.8.6 (#718), allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via transmission of unencrypted, cleartext credentials during Password Reset feature.
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 Sesami CPTO version 6.3.8.6 transmits user credentials in cleartext during the Password Reset feature, allowing remote attackers on the network to intercept and obtain sensitive authentication 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 installed Sesami CPTO versionLocate the installed version of Sesami Cash Point & Transport Optimizer through the application UI, installation directory, or system registry - typically found in About or Help sections, or in the program's installed files metadataAffected if the installed version matches exactly 6.3.8.6.718
-
Confirm Password Reset feature statusAccess the Sesami CPTO administrative interface or configuration panel and verify whether the Password Reset functionality is enabled or available to usersAffected if the Password Reset feature is enabled or active in the environment
-
Inspect password reset network trafficUse a network packet capture tool (such as Wireshark) to capture traffic during a password reset operation and examine whether the credentials are transmitted in plaintext (unencrypted) rather than over HTTPS or another encrypted channelAffected if network capture shows plaintext credential transmission during password reset flows
-
Verify SSL/TLS configuration for authentication endpointsReview the Sesami CPTO server or application configuration files to determine whether SSL/TLS encryption is configured for the password reset endpoint and authentication-related communicationsAffected if SSL/TLS encryption is not configured or is disabled for the Password Reset feature
A user is affected if they are running Sesami CPTO version 6.3.8.6.718 with the Password Reset feature enabled and without SSL/TLS encryption protecting credential transmissions.

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 dataImplement TLS/SSL encryption for all authentication-related communications, specifically the Password Reset feature, and ensure all credential transmissions are encrypted end-to-end.
