Summary

CVE-2023-49194 is a medium-severity Insertion of Sensitive Information Into Debugging Code (CWE-215) vulnerability. Its CVSS base score is 5.3 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Data Obfuscation (T1001); ranked at the 45th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to CM-7 (Least Functionality) and SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

CM-7 Least Functionality good match

Least functionality directly prohibits enabling unnecessary debug features that would expose the inserted sensitive data.

SA-11 Developer Testing and Evaluation good match

Developer testing and evaluation will discover debug code containing sensitive information before release.

SA-15 Development Process, Standards, and Tools partial match

Requiring documented secure development processes and standards stops insertion of sensitive data into debug paths.

Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

PR.DS-10 partial match
blocks

Explicitly calls for removing confidential data from processes, logs, and memory dumps that debug code commonly exposes.

PR.PS-01 partial match
blocks

Hardened configuration baselines and deployment checks can ensure debug features and associated data are disabled in production.

PR.PS-06 partial match
blocks

Secure SDLC practices directly prevent developers from embedding sensitive information inside debugging statements or code paths.

A.8.19 Installation of software on operational systems partial match
removes
A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
blocks

Secure SDLC mandates removal of debug code and sensitive data before release.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
removes
A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly prohibit embedding secrets or debug statements.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance partial match
finds

Security testing in development catches debug statements and sensitive data leaks.

A.8.31 Separation of development, test and production environments partial match
blocks

A.8.31 separates environments and restricts what reaches production; it does not stop sensitive information from being inserted into debugging code in the first place, so the weakness can still be present and exploitable if debugging code slips into production.
