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.
-
Identify if HP Insight Control Server Migration is installedCheck Windows Add/Remove Programs or the Windows Registry under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall for an entry named 'HP Insight Control Server Migration' or similar HP migration software.Affected if The software is present on the system
-
Determine the installed versionLocate the HP Insight Control Server Migration installation and check for a version file, or use the HP Management Agents command-line tool (hpasmcli or hplog) if available, or right-click the application in Add/Remove Programs to view the version property.Affected if The version displayed is 6.0, 6.0.1, 6.0.2, 6.1, or 6.1.2 (or any version lower than 6.2)
-
Check if the management interface is exposedVerify if the HP Insight Control web console or associated ports (typically 2301, 2381, or SSL ports) are listening on network interfaces accessible from outside the local network.Affected if Management ports are exposed to untrusted networks without firewall restrictions
If HP Insight Control Server Migration version is 6.2 or higher, the vulnerability does not apply; any version from 6.0 to 6.1.2 or any 6.0.1 release is affected.
