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 · unedited
The Pixmeo Osirix MD Web Portal sends credential information without encryption, which could allow an attacker to steal credentials.

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 confidence

The Pixmeo Osirix MD Web Portal transmits user credentials in cleartext without encryption, allowing attackers on the same network or conducting man-in-the-middle attacks to intercept and steal authentication credentials.

MitigationEnable TLS/SSL encryption (HTTPS) for all authentication endpoints and ensure all credential transmission occurs over encrypted channels.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm Pixmeo Osirix MD Web Portal installation
    Identify if the Osirix MD Web Portal software is installed in your environment. Check installed applications or services for 'Osirix MD' or 'Pixmeo' related web portal components.
    Affected if The product is present and the web portal service is running
  2. Identify the web portal URL and authentication endpoint
    Locate the base URL for the Osirix MD Web Portal in your environment. Common paths include /webportal, /osirix, or the root application path. Note the protocol prefix (http:// or https://).
    Affected if The web portal is accessible via HTTP or an unknown protocol
  3. Verify protocol used for login/authentication
    Inspect the login page URL and form submission action. Check if the login form action points to an HTTP (not HTTPS) endpoint. Look at the browser address bar and page source for protocol indicators.
    Affected if Login form submits to an http:// URL instead of https://
  4. Check server configuration for SSL/TLS settings
    Examine the web server configuration (IIS, Apache, Nginx) hosting the Osirix MD Web Portal. Look for SSL/TLS certificate bindings, HTTPS bindings, or redirect rules forcing HTTPS.
    Affected if No SSL/TLS certificate is configured or HTTPS is not enforced for the authentication endpoints
  5. Capture network traffic during authentication
    Using a network capture tool (Wireshark, browser developer tools network tab), perform a login and observe whether the credential data (username, password) is transmitted in plaintext or encrypted.
    Affected if Credentials are observable in plaintext in network captures

You are affected if the Osirix MD Web Portal transmits login credentials over unencrypted HTTP rather than HTTPS.
