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
Allegro AI’s open-source version of ClearML stores passwords in plaintext within the MongoDB instance, resulting in a compromised server leaking all user emails and passwords.

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 confidence

ClearML stores user passwords in plaintext within the MongoDB database. If the server or database is compromised, attackers can directly access all user emails and plaintext passwords, enabling immediate account takeover of all affected users.

MitigationImplement proper password hashing (e.g., bcrypt, Argon2) for all stored passwords and migrate existing plaintext passwords by either hashing them or requiring password resets.

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. Access ClearML MongoDB database
    Locate and connect to the MongoDB instance used by ClearML - check ClearML configuration for the database connection string
    Affected if You cannot access the ClearML MongoDB database
  2. Find user credentials storage
    Identify the users collection or table within the ClearML MongoDB database that stores user authentication data
    Affected if No users collection or credential table exists in the database
  3. Examine password field values
    Query the users collection and retrieve password field values for several user records
    Affected if Password values are readable plaintext strings rather than hashed values
  4. Check for hashing algorithm markers
    Inspect password field content for standard hashing prefixes such as $2b$ (bcrypt) or $argon2$, or other encoded hash patterns
    Affected if Password fields contain no hashing algorithm markers and appear as plaintext

If plaintext passwords are stored in the ClearML MongoDB users collection without hashing markers, the environment is affected by CVE-2024-24595

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.
