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 · uneditedIBM MQ Console 9.3 LTS and 9.3 CD could disclose could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information when a detailed technical error message is returned in the browser. This information could be used in further attacks against the system. IBM X-Force ID: 292765.
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 confidenceIBM MQ Console 9.3 LTS and 9.3 CD returns detailed technical error messages in the browser that can expose sensitive system information to remote attackers. This information disclosure could reveal configuration details, paths, or internal logic useful for planning further attacks.

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.
-
Check installed IBM MQ versionRun 'dspmqver' or inspect the IBM MQ installation directory for version information. Compare the version to the affected range (9.3.0).Affected if The installed version is exactly 9.3.0
-
Verify IBM MQ Console is accessibleConfirm the MQ web console is running and accessible. Typically accessible on ports 9443 or similar HTTPS ports. Check if the console responds to HTTP requests.Affected if The web console is running and accessible on the network
-
Test error message behaviorTrigger an error condition in the MQ Console (such as submitting invalid input or accessing a non-existent resource) and capture the HTTP response. Inspect the response body for detailed technical information such as stack traces, file paths, internal logic, or configuration details.Affected if The console returns detailed technical error messages, stack traces, file paths, or internal system information rather than generic error responses
A user is affected if they have IBM MQ version 9.3.0 running with the web console enabled and the console returns detailed technical error messages instead of generic responses.

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 dataApply IBM's patched version for IBM MQ 9.3 LTS/CD, or configure the console to suppress detailed technical error messages and return generic error responses instead.
