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 HP Network Automation installationLocate the HP Network Automation installation directory or check running services. Common paths include /opt/hp/na or C:\Program Files\HP\Network Automation. On Windows, check Services for 'HP Network Automation' or 'na' processes.Affected if HP Network Automation software is found on the system
-
Determine installed versionCheck the version file or About page within the HP Network Automation web interface. The version is typically displayed on the login page or in Help > About. Version numbers appear as 7.2.x, 7.5.x, 7.6.x, 9.0.x, or 9.10.x.Affected if Installed version matches 7.2, 7.5, 7.6, 9.0, or 9.10 or falls within the 7.2x, 7.5x, 7.6x, 9.0, or 9.10 version families
-
Confirm web interface is accessibleAccess the HP Network Automation web console via browser at the configured URL (typically https://hostname/nav/). The SQL injection is exploitable through the web interface.Affected if The HP Network Automation web interface is reachable and responds
-
Verify authentication is enabledCheck the authentication configuration in the HP Network Automation admin console under Administration > Security Settings. Confirm that user authentication is required for access.Affected if The system accepts user credentials and authentication is not disabled (the vulnerability requires an authenticated session)
A user is affected if HP Network Automation versions 7.2 through 7.6, 9.0, or 9.10 are installed, the web interface is accessible, and user authentication is configured.
