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
In Microsoft Exchange through 2019, Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) configurations on on-premises servers may transmit sensitive data from Samsung mobile devices in cleartext, including the user's name, e-mail address, device ID, bearer token, and base64-encoded password.

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

Microsoft Exchange on-premises servers with Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) configurations transmit sensitive Samsung mobile device data (user names, email addresses, device IDs, bearer tokens, and base64-encoded passwords) in cleartext rather than encrypted form. An attacker with network positioning could intercept this traffic to harvest credentials and device identifiers.

MitigationConfigure EAS to require TLS encryption for all connections, and review Samsung device policies to ensure encryption is enforced during synchronization with Exchange servers.

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 Exchange Server and EAS are present
    Run 'Get-ExchangeServer | Select-Object Name,AdminDisplayVersion' to identify Exchange installations, then run 'Get-ActiveSyncVirtualDirectory -Server <servername> | Select-Object Name,InternalUrl,ExternalUrl' to check if EAS virtual directories exist.
    Affected if Exchange Server is installed and Exchange ActiveSync virtual directories are configured.
  2. Verify EAS SSL/TLS configuration
    In Exchange Management Shell, run 'Get-ActiveSyncVirtualDirectory -Server <servername> | Select-Object Name,SSLAccessRequired,ClientCertAuth' to check if SSL is required for EAS connections.
    Affected if SSLAccessRequired is set to False or ClientCertAuth is set to Ignore, indicating unencrypted connections are allowed.
  3. Inspect IIS EAS virtual directory SSL settings
    Open IIS Manager, navigate to the Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync virtual directory under Default Web Site, click SSL Settings, and verify 'Require SSL' is unchecked or not enforced.
    Affected if Require SSL is unchecked for the Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync virtual directory.
  4. Check EAS mailbox user partnerships
    Run 'Get-CASMailbox -Identity <user> | Select-Object ActiveSyncEnabled,ActiveSyncMailboxPolicy' to identify which mailboxes have EAS enabled, then run 'Get-MobileDevice -Mailbox <user> | Select-Object DeviceType,DeviceModel' to see if Samsung devices are syncing.
    Affected if ActiveSyncEnabled is True for mailboxes with Samsung (or generic Android/iOS) devices present in mobile device partnerships.
  5. Capture network traffic to verify cleartext transmission
    Use a packet capture tool (such as Wireshark or netsh trace) on the Exchange server network interface to capture traffic on ports 80/443 and inspect if EAS traffic to/from mobile devices contains readable username, email, or base64-encoded credential data.
    Affected if Plaintext HTTP traffic on port 80 is observed containing EAS XML payloads with sensitive Samsung device synchronization data.

If Exchange Server has EAS enabled and configured without requiring SSL/TLS (or allowing port 80 connections), the sensitive Samsung device data is being transmitted in cleartext and the environment is affected.
