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 TMWeb component is installedCheck the installed components of IBM Datacap Taskmaster Capture. TMWeb is the web component where this SQL injection exists. Look for TMWeb in the component list or installed features.Affected if TMWeb component is present and the application version is 8.0.1
-
Check the installed version of IBM Datacap Taskmaster CaptureUse the IBM Datacap version information tool or check the program's About/Version information.

-
Verify the TMWeb service is accessibleCheck if the TMWeb web service is running and exposed. Look for TMWeb in the list of running IIS websites, application pools, or web services associated with Datacap.Affected if TMWeb service is running and the application version is 8.0.1
-
Check for Fix Pack installationLook for IBM Datacap Taskmaster Capture Fix Pack 1 or later installed. Check the version information to see if it shows a version beyond 8.0.1 or lists a Fix Pack level.Affected if No Fix Pack is installed and the base version remains 8.0.1
If TMWeb component is present and the installed version is exactly 8.0.1 without any Fix Pack applied, the environment is affected by this SQL injection vulnerability.
