CVE-2024-31842
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 Italtel Embrace 1.6.4. The web application inserts the access token of an authenticated user inside GET requests. The query string for the URL could be saved in the browser's history, passed through Referers to other web sites, stored in web logs, or otherwise recorded in other sources. If the query string contains sensitive information such as session identifiers, then attackers can use this information to launch further attacks. Because the access token in sent in GET requests, this vulnerability could lead to complete account takeover.
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 confidenceItaltel Embrace 1.6.4 embeds user access tokens in GET request query strings, exposing them via browser history, Referer headers, and server logs. This allows attackers who obtain these tokens to perform complete account takeover.

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.
-
Confirm Italtel Embrace versionLocate the installed Italtel Embrace application and check its version number. This is typically found in the product UI under 'About' or 'Version', or in installation directories. The affected version is specifically 1.6.4.Affected if The installed version is exactly 1.6.4
-
Inspect browser developer tools or proxy for authentication requestsLog into Italtel Embrace, then open browser developer tools (Network tab) or use an HTTP proxy to capture traffic. Look for GET requests to the application and examine the URL query parameters for any token, session, or auth-related values.Affected if Authentication tokens, session IDs, or access tokens appear in the URL query string of GET requests
-
Check browser history for sensitive URLsOpen browser history settings and search for URLs belonging to the Italtel Embrace application. Look for any saved URLs containing token= or similar parameter names with value strings.Affected if Authenticated URLs with token parameters are stored in browser history
-
Review server or proxy access logsExamine web server access logs, reverse proxy logs, or application logs for the Italtel Embrace instance. Search for GET requests containing authentication parameters in the URL.Affected if Server logs contain URLs with exposed token values in query strings
A user is affected if they run Italtel Embrace version 1.6.4 and authentication tokens are transmitted via GET request query parameters, exposing them in browser history, server logs, or referer headers.

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 dataMigrate token transmission from query parameters to HTTP headers (e.g., Authorization Bearer token) or POST request body, and implement short-lived tokens with rotation.
