CVE-2024-6060
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 information disclosure vulnerability in Phloc Webscopes 7.0.0 allows local attackers with access to the log files to view logged HTTP requests that contain user passwords or other sensitive information.
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 confidencePhloc Webscopes 7.0.0 logs HTTP requests without sanitizing sensitive fields such as passwords, exposing this data in plaintext log files. Local attackers with file-system access to these logs can read credentials and other sensitive information from the request payloads.

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.
-
Locate Phloc Webscopes installationSearch for Phloc Webscopes JAR files, configuration files, or application directories on the system. Common paths include /opt/, /usr/share/, or application deployment directories.Affected if Phloc Webscopes version 7.0.0 is found installed on the system
-
Verify installed versionExamine the version metadata of the Phloc Webscopes installation. Check manifest files, version properties, or the JAR file name for the exact version number.Affected if The installed version is exactly 7.0.0
-
Identify HTTP request logging configurationLocate configuration files for Phloc Webscopes (e.g., XML, properties, or YAML config files) and check for logging settings related to HTTP request logging. Look for flags enabling request/response logging.Affected if HTTP request logging is enabled in the configuration
-
Find log file locationsExamine logging configuration to identify the destination directory and files where HTTP requests are being written. Check for appender or handler configurations.Affected if Log files exist in accessible directories
-
Inspect log content for sensitive dataOpen the log files and search for plaintext entries containing keywords such as 'password', 'token', 'credential', or other authentication-related fields within request payloads.Affected if Log files contain plaintext sensitive fields like passwords in HTTP request data
The environment is affected if Phloc Webscopes version 7.0.0 is installed with HTTP request logging enabled, and log files contain plaintext sensitive fields from requests.

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 dataImplement log sanitization or filtering to exclude sensitive fields (e.g., passwords, tokens, PII) from HTTP request logging, or use structured logging that separates metadata from request body content.
