CVE-2025-49188
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 · uneditedThe application sends user credentials as URL parameters instead of POST bodies, making it vulnerable to information gathering.
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 confidenceThe application transmits user credentials as URL query parameters (GET requests) instead of within the POST request body. This exposes credentials in server access logs, browser history, proxy logs, and potentially in Referrer headers, allowing attackers with log access to harvest valid credentials.

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.
-
Capture an authentication request and inspect the HTTP methodLog into the Sick Field Analytics application while using a web proxy (like Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP) or browser developer tools. Observe the HTTP request sent when submitting credentials. Note whether the request method is GET or POST.Affected if The request method is GET rather than POST
-
Inspect URL query parameters for credential exposureIn the captured authentication request, examine the URL query string (the part after the ? symbol). Look for parameter names that typically contain credentials such as username, user, password, pass, token, auth, credential, or similar.Affected if Credentials or sensitive authentication data appear as URL query parameters (e.g., ?username=admin&password=secret)
-
Verify credentials are not in the request bodyIn the same captured request, check the request body (POST data). Confirm whether authentication credentials are missing from the body or present there.Affected if Credentials are absent from the request body and only appear in the URL
-
Examine server access logs for credential leakageAccess the web server access logs for the Sick Field Analytics application. Search for authentication-related endpoints and examine whether URL query strings contain credential data in the logged requests.Affected if Server logs show credentials transmitted via URL query parameters
The environment is affected if authentication credentials are transmitted via GET requests with sensitive data appearing in URL query parameters rather than in the POST request body.

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 credential transmission from GET requests with URL parameters to POST requests with credentials in the request body, and implement proper authentication session handling.
