CVE-2024-24939
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 · uneditedIn JetBrains Rider before 2023.3.3 logging of environment variables containing secret values was possible
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 confidenceJetBrains Rider before version 2023.3.3 had a vulnerability where environment variables containing sensitive information (such as API keys, passwords, or tokens) were being written to application logs, allowing potential exposure of secrets to anyone with access to 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 JetBrains Rider versionOpen JetBrains Rider and go to Help > About (or Rider > About on macOS). The version number is displayed in the dialog that appears.Affected if The version shown is earlier than 2023.3.3 (for example, 2023.3.2, 2023.3.1, 2023.3.0, or any 2023.x or earlier version)
-
Locate JetBrains Rider log directoryThe logs are typically stored in the Rider system directory. On Windows: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\JetBrains\Rider\logs. On macOS: ~/Library/Logs/JetBrains/Rider. On Linux: ~/.cache/JetBrains/Rider/logs.Affected if Log files exist in these directories and the application was run with sensitive environment variables set
-
Search logs for sensitive environment variable namesOpen or search through recent log files (look for files named with dates or 'log' in the name) and search for strings like 'API_KEY', 'PASSWORD', 'TOKEN', 'SECRET', 'AUTH', or other environment variable names you use that contain sensitive values.Affected if Logs contain lines showing environment variable names or values that expose credentials, API keys, tokens, or passwords
You are affected if your installed JetBrains Rider version is before 2023.3.3 and your logs contain exposed sensitive environment variables or credential values.
