CVE-2025-0631
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 · uneditedA Credential Exposure Vulnerability exists in the above-mentioned product and version. The vulnerability is due to using HTTP resulting in credentials being sent in clear text.
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 confidenceA credential exposure vulnerability exists where user credentials are transmitted in clear text over unencrypted HTTP instead of being encrypted via HTTPS, allowing attackers on the network path to intercept authentication data.

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 authentication endpointsReview your application's URL routing and web server logs to locate all endpoints that handle user authentication (e.g., /login, /auth, /signin, /api/auth). Document the full URLs including protocol and port.Affected if Any authentication endpoint is accessible over HTTP (port 80) instead of only HTTPS (port 443)
-
Verify HTTP access to auth endpointsAttempt to access each identified authentication endpoint using http:// (not https://) from a test client or browser. Confirm whether the connection succeeds and displays the login form.Affected if The authentication endpoint loads successfully over unencrypted HTTP
-
Capture network traffic during loginUse a network sniffer (such as tcpdump, Wireshark, or browser developer tools) to capture traffic while submitting credentials to the login form over the HTTP endpoint. Inspect the request payload for plaintext username and password fields.Affected if Credentials are visible in clear text in the captured HTTP request body
-
Check server SSL/TLS configurationInspect the web server (e.g., Apache, Nginx, IIS) or application configuration files for SSL/TLS settings. Verify whether HTTPS is enabled and whether HTTP is redirecting to HTTPS. Look for directives like 'SSLEngine on', 'listen 443', or similar TLS settings.Affected if HTTP (port 80) is not configured to redirect to HTTPS, or TLS is not enforced for auth endpoints
-
Inspect response headers for security flagsMake an authenticated request and examine the response headers for security directives such as 'Strict-Transport-Security', 'Secure' cookie flag, or absence thereof. Also check if the login form action points to an HTTP URL.Affected if Login form action URL uses HTTP, or security headers are missing or indicate no TLS enforcement
You are affected if authentication endpoints are reachable over unencrypted HTTP and user credentials are transmitted in clear text without TLS protection.

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 the affected endpoint from HTTP to HTTPS and ensure all authentication endpoints enforce TLS encryption to protect credentials in transit.
