CVE-2024-48783
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 in Ruijie NBR3000D-E Gateway allows a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information via the /tool/shell/postgresql.conf component.
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 confidenceThe Ruijie NBR3000D-E Gateway contains an information disclosure vulnerability in the /tool/shell/postgresql.conf endpoint. A remote attacker can directly access this endpoint to retrieve the PostgreSQL configuration file, which typically contains database credentials, usernames, passwords, and other sensitive connection parameters. This appears to be an insecure direct object reference or missing access control vulnerability allowing unauthenticated access to sensitive configuration files.

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 Ruijie NBR3000D-E Gateway is deployedIdentify the device model by accessing the device management interface, checking device documentation, or reviewing network inventory/asset records for 'NBR3000D-E' or 'Ruijie NBR' gateway devices.Affected if The target device is a Ruijie NBR3000D-E Gateway running Ruijie firmware.
-
Check if the management interface is network-accessibleDetermine whether the device's web management interface (typically ports 80/443 or configured management IP) is reachable from untrusted networks. Use network scanning or review firewall rules and ACLs.Affected if The device management interface is accessible from networks where untrusted users could reach it.
-
Test access to the vulnerable endpointUsing a web browser or HTTP client (curl), attempt to access http(s)://<device-ip>/tool/shell/postgresql.conf without providing authentication credentials.Affected if The endpoint returns the PostgreSQL configuration file content without requiring login.
-
Verify returned configuration contains sensitive dataExamine the response from the vulnerable endpoint. Look for lines containing 'password', 'username', 'pg_hba.conf' references, or connection strings that expose database credentials.Affected if The response contains PostgreSQL usernames, passwords, or other database credentials in plain text.
If the Ruijie NBR3000D-E Gateway is deployed and the /tool/shell/postgresql.conf endpoint returns configuration data without authentication, the environment is affected by this CVE.

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 dataRestrict access to the /tool/shell/postgresql.conf endpoint by implementing proper authentication and authorization checks. Immediately rotate any credentials that may have been exposed in the PostgreSQL configuration file. Apply vendor-provided patches when available and consider network segmentation to limit exposure of the management interface.
