Summary

CVE-2026-41931 is a medium-severity Generation of Error Message Containing Sensitive Information (CWE-209) vulnerability. Its CVSS base score is 6.9 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Default Accounts (T1078.001); ranked at the 16th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to CM-2 (Baseline Configuration) and CM-6 (Configuration Settings) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

Vvveb before version 1.0.8.2 contains an information disclosure vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to obtain sensitive server information by triggering unhandled exceptions in the password-reset module. Attackers can access the admin password-reset endpoint to trigger a fatal error caused by…

more

a missing namespace import, which exposes the absolute server file path, internal class namespaces, line numbers, and source code excerpts through the debug exception handler rendered to unauthenticated requests.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SI-11 Error Handling good match

si-11 directly requires error messages to avoid revealing exploitable information about the system or its data.

CM-2 Baseline Configuration good match

Baseline configuration directly requires documenting and maintaining secure initial settings instead of insecure defaults.

CM-6 Configuration Settings good match

Configuration settings mandate the most restrictive values be applied at initialization, eliminating reliance on insecure factory defaults.

AC-6 Least Privilege partial match

Least privilege reduces the blast radius of any insecure default permissions that remain after initialization.

SA-8 Security and Privacy Engineering Principles partial match

Security engineering principles include explicit requirements for secure defaults during resource initialization and design.

PR.PS-01 full match
prevents

Hardened baselines and configuration management directly replace insecure defaults with secure settings.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly require sanitized error handling to prevent sensitive data disclosure.

ID.RA-09 partial match
prevents

Pre-acquisition integrity checks can reject products known to ship with insecure defaults.

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

A.8.28 Secure coding mostly match
prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly forbid exposing sensitive data in errors.

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

Security testing can detect error messages that leak sensitive information.

A.8.9 Configuration management mostly match
prevents

Mandating secure baseline templates and immediate replacement of vendor defaults directly stops systems from being deployed with insecure factory settings that attackers can exploit.

A.8.15 Logging partial match
degrades

Logging policy can require suppression of sensitive data in error messages.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure SDLC mandates error-handling rules that avoid leaking sensitive information.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements can specify safe error messaging.
