Deeper analysis
The vulnerability CVE-2022-0660 is an instance of generation of error messages containing sensitive information (CWE-209) that affects the microweber/microweber package distributed via Packagist in all versions prior to 1.2.11. It received a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5, reflecting network attackability with low complexity, no required privileges or user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality.
An unauthenticated remote attacker can trigger error conditions that cause the application to emit sensitive internal details in its responses, thereby obtaining information that would otherwise remain protected.
The flaw was resolved by commit 2417bd2eda2aa2868c1dad1abf62341f22bfc20a, which is referenced in the associated huntr.dev bounty disclosure. The EPSS score has remained flat at 0.075 with no material post-disclosure increase.

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Detects error messages that leak sensitive information as evidence of disclosure.
The control directly mitigates generation of error messages containing sensitive authentication details by requiring obscured feedback instead of verbose responses.
Misdirection allows generation of misleading error messages that withhold or falsify sensitive details.
Explicitly requires error messages to avoid including sensitive or exploitable details while still supporting corrective action.
Validation ensures error messages contain only expected, non-sensitive content and blocks leakage via verbose errors.
Fail-safe procedures can be defined to suppress or sanitize error output, reducing generation of messages that contain sensitive information.
