Insufficiently Protected Credentials vulnerability in the remote backups application on Western Digital My Cloud devices that could allow an attacker who has gained access to a relevant endpoint to use that information to access protected data. This issue affects: Western Digital My Cloud My Cloud versions prior to 5.25.124 on Linux.
This vulnerability carries a MEDIUM severity rating with a CVSS v3.1 score of 4.1, requiring local system access to exploit but requires specific conditions to be met without requiring user interaction . The vulnerability impacts confidentiality (data exposure), for affected systems. Impacting 12 products from westerndigital, from westerndigital, from westerndigital and 9 others, organizations running these solutions should prioritize assessment and patching.
Reported in 2022, this vulnerability emerged during an era marked by increased sophistication in supply chain attacks, cloud infrastructure vulnerabilities, and software-as-a-service (SaaS) security challenges. Security practices during this period emphasized zero-trust architectures, container security, and API protection.

SecUtils normalizes and enriches National Vulnerability Database (NVD) records by standardizing vendor and product identifiers, aggregating vulnerability metadata from both NVD and MITRE sources, and providing structured context for security teams. For westerndigital's affected products, we extract Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) data, Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) classifications, CVSS severity metrics, and reference data to enable rapid vulnerability prioritization and asset correlation. This record contains no exploit code, proof-of-concept instructions, or attack methodologies—only defensive intelligence necessary for patch management, risk assessment, and security operations.
