CVSS v3.1
Official Description
The D2-API component in EMC Documentum D2 3.1 through SP1, 4.0 and 4.1 before 4.1 P22, and 4.2 before P11 places the MD5 hash of an encryption passphrase in log files, which allows remote authenticated users to obtain sensitive information by reading a file.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2015-0517 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.
