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
Insufficiently Protected Credentials in the Crowdstrike connector can lead to Crowdstrike credentials being leaked. A malicious user can access cached credentials from a Crowdstrike connector in another space by creating and running a Crowdstrike connector in a space to which they have access.

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 confidence

The Crowdstrike connector in this product stores credentials insecurely, allowing a malicious user with access to create and run a connector in one space to access cached credentials from a Crowdstrike connector in a different space. This is a cross-space credential leakage vulnerability stemming from insufficient credential isolation and protection mechanisms.

MitigationImplement proper credential isolation between spaces with encryption at rest and strict access controls to prevent cross-space credential access.

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. Identify if Crowdstrike connector is in use
    Review the product's integrations or connectors configuration panel to determine if a Crowdstrike connector has been created and configured with credentials
    Affected if Crowdstrike connector is created and running with stored credentials
  2. Verify multiple spaces exist
    Check if the product supports multi-tenancy or workspace isolation and determine if more than one space/workspace has been created
    Affected if Multiple spaces exist in the environment
  3. Check credential storage location
    Examine the product's database or configuration files where connector credentials are stored, looking for unencrypted or weakly protected credential caches
    Affected if Credentials are stored without encryption at rest or with insufficient protection
  4. Review cross-space access controls
    Inspect the product's permission model and access control settings to determine if space isolation properly prevents credential access across different spaces
    Affected if Space isolation does not enforce strict separation of credentials between spaces
  5. Inspect credential caching mechanism
    Look for cached credential files or memory structures used by the Crowdstrike connector, checking if they are accessible from other spaces
    Affected if Cached credentials are accessible across space boundaries

User is affected if Crowdstrike connector is configured in an environment with multiple spaces where credentials are not properly encrypted or isolated between spaces.
