CVE-2025-68919
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 · uneditedFujitsu / Fsas Technologies ETERNUS SF ACM/SC/Express (DX / AF Management Software) before 16.8-16.9.1 PA 2025-12, when collected maintenance data is accessible by a principal/authority other than ETERNUS SF Admin, allows an attacker to potentially affect system confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
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 is an improper access control vulnerability in Fujitsu ETERNUS SF storage management software where collected maintenance data is accessible to principals/authorities other than the intended ETERNUS SF Admin role. An attacker with access to these alternative authorization paths could potentially read, modify, or disrupt maintenance data, affecting confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

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 installedLocate the ETERNUS SF installation directory or check for the presence of ETERNUS SF components on the system. Common installation paths may include /opt/fujitsu/eternus or C:\Program Files\Fujitsu\ETERNUS on Windows.Affected if ETERNUS SF software is found on the system
-
Determine the installed ETERNUS SF versionUse the product's version checking mechanism - typically via the management console, about dialog, or version command. Look for version information in the format such as 16.x or check the software package details.Affected if The installed version falls within 16.8 through 16.9.1 PA 2025-12 (versions prior to the December 2025 patch)
-
Review maintenance data access configurationsExamine the access control settings for maintenance data collection features. Look for configuration files or settings that define who can access collected maintenance data and verify if non-admin roles have been granted access permissions.Affected if Non-admin users or roles have permissions to access maintenance data collections
-
Check for alternative authorization pathsInspect the system's role-based access control (RBAC) configuration to identify any authorization paths that allow access to maintenance data outside of the intended ETERNUS SF Admin role.Affected if Authorization paths exist that grant maintenance data access to users without the ETERNUS SF Admin role
A user is affected if they have ETERNUS SF version 16.8 through 16.9.1 PA 2025-12 installed AND maintenance data is accessible to principals other than the ETERNUS SF Admin role.
