CVSS v3.1
Official Description
kioslave/http/http.cpp in KIO in kdelibs 4.10.3 and earlier allows attackers to discover credentials via a crafted request that triggers an "internal server error," which includes the username and password in an error message.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2013-2074 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-200): Information exposure vulnerabilities leak sensitive data to unauthorized actors.
