Hitachi Device Manager: Generation of Error Message Containing Sensitive Information
CVE-2023-49107 is a high-severity generation of error message containing sensitive information vulnerability in Hitachi Device Manager from Hitachi, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version 8.8.5-04 as the first without the flaw, so updating Hitachi Device Manager to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.41% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.

The underlying weakness: Generation of Error Message Containing Sensitive Information
The product generates an error message that includes sensitive information about its environment, users, or associated data.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Handle exceptions internally and do not display errors containing potentially sensitive information to a user.
- Use naming conventions and strong types to make it easier to spot when sensitive data is being used. When creating structures, objects, or other complex entities, separate the sensitive and non-sensitive data as much as possible.
- Debugging information should not make its way into a production release.
