CVE-2025-46574
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 · uneditedThere is an information disclosure vulnerability in the GoldenDB database product. Attackers can exploit error messages to obtain the system's 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 · moderate confidenceGoldenDB database product contains an information disclosure vulnerability where error messages expose sensitive system information to attackers. This is a classic information leakage issue through verbose or improperly sanitized error outputs.
Verify against the referenced sources before acting — the references below are authoritative for this CVE, this summary is not.
Affected products & versions What the vendor confirmedThe version ranges the vendor confirmed as vulnerable. If your version sits inside a range here, treat yourself as exposed until you have upgraded.

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 installed GoldenDB versionRun 'goldendb --version' or check the package/dBinary version installed on the system. On Linux, you may also check '/opt/goldendb/version' or look in the installation directory for a version file.Affected if The installed version is 6.1.03 or higher but below 6.1.03.11, OR the installed version is exactly 7.2.01.01
-
Check for verbose error responsesTrigger error conditions in the database by issuing malformed queries, accessing non-existent objects, or causing operational errors. Capture and inspect the HTTP/RPC response bodies or CLI output.Affected if Error responses contain stack traces, file paths, database internal names, system architecture details, or other sensitive system information rather than generic error codes
-
Inspect error logging configurationExamine the GoldenDB configuration files (typically in /etc/goldendb/ or the installation conf/ directory) for 'error_detail', 'verbose_errors', 'stack_trace', or similar settings that control error verbosity.Affected if Debug or verbose error modes are enabled, or error output is set to 'detailed' rather than 'simplified' mode
-
Review application error handling integrationIf GoldenDB is accessed via an application layer, test API endpoints or client connections to see if database errors propagate directly to end users without sanitization.Affected if Application-layer error messages expose database error codes, object names, or system details that should be internal only
You are affected if your GoldenDB version falls within 6.1.03 through 6.1.03.10, or is exactly 7.2.01.01, AND your error responses expose sensitive system information to users or clients.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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.
dbcve · scoped6.1.03.11
Implement proper error handling that returns generic error messages to users while logging detailed errors server-side. Sanitize or remove sensitive information from error message responses.
6.1.03.11 or later for 6.x branch; next stable release after 7.2.01.01 for 7.x branch
- 1. Identify the current GoldenDB version by checking the Zxcloud Goldendb installation
- 2. If running version 6.1.03.x where x < 11, plan upgrade to version 6.1.03.11 or later
- 3. If running version 7.2.01.01, plan upgrade to the next stable release after 7.2.01.01
- 4. Review ZTE support portal (support.zte.com.cn) for specific upgrade packages and migration guides
- 5. Schedule maintenance window for the upgrade process
- 6. Perform backup of database configurations and data
- 7. Execute upgrade following ZTE's official upgrade documentation
- 8. After upgrade, verify the system is operational and error messages no longer expose sensitive information
