CVE-2025-41718
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 cleartext transmission of sensitive information vulnerability in the affected products allows an unauthorized remote attacker to gain login credentials and access the Web-UI.
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 confidenceThis vulnerability involves the cleartext (unencrypted) transmission of sensitive authentication credentials, allowing attackers on the network path to intercept login information and gain unauthorized access to the product's Web-UI.

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.
-
Verify HTTP port accessibilityCheck if TCP port 80 (HTTP) is open and accepting connections on the server. Use 'netstat -tlnp | grep :80' or 'nmap -p 80 <server-ip>' to determine if the Web-UI is reachable over unencrypted HTTP.Affected if Port 80 is open and the Web-UI login page is accessible over HTTP without any redirect to HTTPS.
-
Test HTTP-to-HTTPS redirect behaviorAttempt to access the Web-UI over HTTP (http://<server-ip>/) using a browser or curl command. Observe whether the request is automatically redirected to HTTPS (https://).Affected if The server responds with the login page over HTTP without redirecting to HTTPS, or the redirect does not enforce HTTPS.
-
Inspect server configuration for TLS enforcementReview the web server configuration file (e.g., httpd.conf, nginx.conf, or the application's config) for directives that enforce HTTPS, such as 'SSLStrictSNIVHostCheck', 'HSTS headers', or redirect rules. Check for 'HttpSecurity' or similar settings in the application config.Affected if No HTTPS enforcement configuration is found, or TLS/SSL is not required for authentication endpoints.
-
Capture and inspect network traffic during loginUse a network capture tool (e.g., Wireshark, tcpdump) on the client or network path. Initiate a login to the Web-UI over HTTP and examine the captured packets for plaintext username and password fields.Affected if Authentication credentials are transmitted in cleartext (unencrypted) over HTTP in the request body or query parameters.
-
Check SSL/TLS certificate configurationVerify that a valid SSL/TLS certificate is properly configured for the Web-UI. Use 'openssl s_client -connect <server>:443' or check the server's HTTPS settings.Affected if HTTPS is not configured or SSL/TLS is disabled, leaving only HTTP as the available access method.
The environment is affected if the Web-UI is accessible over unencrypted HTTP and authentication credentials can be transmitted in cleartext without being redirected to or enforced over HTTPS.

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 dataEnforce TLS/SSL encryption for all Web-UI access paths and ensure authentication credentials are transmitted only over encrypted HTTPS connections.
