Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
The SyGate Remote Management program does not properly restrict access to its administration service, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, or access network traffic statistics.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

The SyGate Remote Management service lacks proper access controls, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to either cause a denial of service or view network traffic statistics by directly accessing the administration service.

MitigationRestrict network access to the SyGate management port via firewall rules or network segmentation; if SyGate remains in production use, consider migrating to a supported modern solution.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify if SyGate is installed
    Check for SyGate installation by looking for SyGate-related files or services. Common locations include C:\Program Files\Sygate or registry entries under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Sygate. On Windows, check Add/Remove Programs or the services list for 'SyGate' or 'Sygate Manager'.
    Affected if Sybergen Sygate version 2.0 or 3.11 is installed on the system
  2. Determine the installed SyGate version
    If SyGate is found, locate the version information. Check the program's main executable (often named sygate.exe or similar), check the properties of the installed program, or look in the Windows registry under the SyGate installation key for a Version value.
    Affected if The installed version is 2.0 or 3.11 specifically
  3. Verify if Remote Management service is enabled
    Check the SyGate configuration or service settings to determine if the Remote Management feature is turned on. This is typically found in the SyGate Manager interface under 'Remote Management' or 'Administration' settings, or in the SyGate configuration file.
    Affected if The Remote Management service is enabled and listening on the network
  4. Check network accessibility of management port
    Use netstat or a port scanner to identify if port 7323 (the default SyGate management port) or another management port is listening on network interfaces. Verify if it accepts connections from non-localhost addresses.
    Affected if The SyGate management port is accessible from network addresses beyond localhost

A system is affected if it runs Sybergen Sygate version 2.0 or 3.11 with the Remote Management service enabled and accessible over the network, allowing unauthenticated attackers to access administrative functions or view traffic statistics.
