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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm AlstraSoft Video Share Enterprise is installedLocate the application installation directory. Common paths may include /var/www/, /htdocs/, or the web root. Look for files containing 'Alstrasoft' or 'Video Share' branding.Affected if The software is AlstraSoft Video Share Enterprise
-
Check the installed version numberExamine version information in the application, typically found in a README, CHANGELOG, or version file within the installation directory, or check the login/admin page for version disclosure.Affected if The version is 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, or any version lower than these
-
Verify siteadmin/useredit.php existsNavigate to the siteadmin/ subdirectory in the web root and confirm that useredit.php file is present.Affected if The file siteadmin/useredit.php exists in the installation
-
Check for authentication on useredit.phpAccess the URL path /siteadmin/useredit.php directly without providing any credentials or session. Inspect the source code of useredit.php to see if it includes any authentication include files (such as include('session.php') or similar) at the beginning.Affected if The page loads without requiring login credentials, or the PHP code shows no authentication include files at the start of the script
