NVD · unedited
Generation of Error Message Containing Sensitive Information vulnerability in Hitachi Device Manager on Windows, Linux (Device Manager Agent modules).This issue affects Hitachi Device Manager: before 8.8.5-04.

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

Hitachi Device Manager contains a vulnerability where the Device Manager Agent modules generate error messages that expose sensitive information. This information disclosure could allow attackers to gain insight into system configuration, file paths, or other internal details through crafted error conditions. The vulnerability exists in both Windows and Linux versions prior to 8.8.5-04.

MitigationUpgrade Hitachi Device Manager to version 8.8.5-04 or later to resolve this vulnerability. As a compensating control, review and sanitize any error logging or message display to ensure sensitive system information is not exposed.

Verify against the referenced sources before acting — the references below are authoritative for this CVE, this summary is not.

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. Identify Hitachi Device Manager installed version
    Locate the version information for your Hitachi Device Manager installation using your system's software inventory, product documentation, or by checking the product's built-in version display function
    Affected if Version is below 8.8.5-04 (any version prior to 8.8.5-04 on Windows or Linux)
  2. Confirm product edition and component scope
    Verify that the installation includes the Device Manager Agent modules mentioned in the advisory, as these are the components that generate the vulnerable error messages
    Affected if Device Manager Agent modules are present in the installation
  3. Review error output mechanisms
    Examine how error conditions in your environment trigger messages or logging from Device Manager Agent, including console output, log files, or API error responses
    Affected if Error messages from Device Manager Agent can be displayed or logged
  4. Assess exposure vector
    Determine whether untrusted users or systems can trigger error conditions in Device Manager that would cause sensitive system details to appear in output
    Affected if Error conditions can be triggered by external or untrusted input

You are affected if Hitachi Device Manager is installed at a version prior to 8.8.5-04 and error messages from the Device Manager Agent can be observed or triggered in your environment.
