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
VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension contains an Insertion of Sensitive Information vulnerability. A malicious actor with adjacent access to web/proxy server logging may be able to obtain sensitive information from URLs that are logged.

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

VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension contains an information disclosure vulnerability where sensitive information (likely authentication tokens, credentials, or session identifiers) is being included in URLs that get logged by web servers or proxy servers. An attacker with adjacent network access to these logs could obtain the sensitive data from the logged URL strings.

MitigationReview and sanitize web/proxy server logging configurations to prevent sensitive data from being recorded in URLs, and rotate any credentials that may have been exposed through logged URLs.

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. Confirm VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension is installed
    Check for the installation directory or service. Common locations include /opt/vmware/ object-storage-extension or review installed packages via system package manager. Look for processes named 'object-storage-extension' or 'ose' running on port 8443 or 443.
    Affected if The product is present on the system
  2. Identify the installed version
    Check the version by reviewing the installation manifest, About page in the admin UI, or running the command: /opt/vmware/object-storage-extension/bin/ose-admin.sh --version 2>/dev/null or reviewing version files in /opt/vmware/object-storage-extension/
    Affected if Version cannot be determined or is unknown (compare to any official VMware security advisories for this CVE)
  3. Review web server access logs for the Object Storage Extension
    Examine logs from the embedded Tomcat server (typically in /opt/vmware/object-storage-extension/logs/) or any reverse proxy in front of the service. Search for GET/POST requests containing query parameters.
    Affected if Logs contain URLs with query string parameters that may hold sensitive values
  4. Search logs for sensitive URL patterns
    Grep access logs for patterns indicating sensitive data in URLs: look for parameters like 'token=', 'sessionId=', 'auth=', 'password=', 'key=', 'secret=', 'Bearer ' followed by alphanumeric strings, or base64-encoded values in URLs.
    Affected if Logged URLs contain authentication tokens, session identifiers, credentials, or API keys
  5. Inspect proxy server logs if used
    If a load balancer or reverse proxy (e.g., NSX Advanced Load Balancer, nginx, Apache) sits in front of Cloud Director, review those logs for the same URL patterns.
    Affected if Proxy logs capture full URLs with sensitive query parameters

A user is affected if VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension is installed and web/proxy server logs contain URLs with embedded sensitive information such as tokens, credentials, or session identifiers.
