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 Service Manager or Service Center is installedCheck your system for installed HP Service Manager or Service Center software. Look for processes named 'sm' or 'servicemanager' running on the system, or check the system inventory/applications list for HP SM or HP SC.Affected if HP Service Manager or Service Center software is present on the system
-
Determine the installed versionCheck the version of the installed HP Service Manager or Service Center. This is typically visible in the application itself (Help > About), in the installation directory, or via system inventory tools. Compare your version against 7.02, 7.11, 9.20, 9.21 for Service Manager or 6.2.8 for Service Center.Affected if The installed version is exactly 7.02, 7.11, 9.20, 9.21 (Service Manager) or 6.2.8 (Service Center)
-
Verify network exposureDetermine if the HP Service Manager/Service Center web interface or server is accessible from the network. Check firewall rules, listening ports (typically 13080, 13000, or similar), and whether the server is behind appropriate network segmentation.Affected if The affected version is exposed to untrusted network access
You are affected if HP Service Manager version 7.02, 7.11, 9.20, or 9.21, or HP Service Center 6.2.8 is installed and accessible on your network.
