CVE-2025-62577
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 · uneditedETERNUS SF provided by Fsas Technologies Inc. contains an incorrect default permissions vulnerability. A low-privileged user with access to the management server may obtain database credentials, potentially allowing execution of OS commands with administrator privileges.
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 confidenceETERNUS SF storage management software contains incorrect default file system or configuration permissions that allow a low-privileged user to read database configuration files containing credentials. These credentials can then be used to access the underlying database and execute OS commands with administrator-level privileges.

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 if ETERNUS SF is installedSearch for ETERNUS SF installation directories or check for related processes/services on the system. Common locations may include /opt/fujitsu/ or program directories on Windows.Affected if ETERNUS SF storage management software is present on the system
-
Locate database configuration filesSearch for configuration files that may contain database credentials. Look for files with names containing terms like config, database, db, credentials, or connection strings within the ETERNUS SF installation directory.Affected if Database configuration files exist within the ETERNUS SF installation
-
Check file permissions on configuration filesUse file system permission tools (such as 'ls -la' on Linux or icacls/Get-Acl on Windows) to examine who has read access to the identified database configuration files.Affected if Low-privileged or non-administrator users have read access to files containing database credentials
-
Verify low-privilege user accessAttempt to read the configuration files using a low-privilege test account or use access enumeration tools to confirm which users/groups can access the sensitive configuration files.Affected if A standard user account can read files containing database credentials
-
Assess credential exposure scopeExamine the contents of readable configuration files to determine if they contain plaintext database credentials, connection strings, or authentication tokens.Affected if Configuration files contain readable database credentials or authentication secrets
The environment is affected if ETERNUS SF is installed and low-privilege users can read database configuration files containing credentials within the software installation.

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 dataIdentify and correct file system permissions on configuration and database credential files to restrict access to administrator-only. Verify that low-privileged users cannot read sensitive configuration files.
