CVE-2013-0706
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedNEC Universal RAID Utility 1.40 Rev 680 and earlier, 2.31 Rev 1492 and earlier, and 2.5 Rev 2244 and earlier does not provide access control, which allows remote attackers to perform arbitrary RAID disk operations via unspecified vectors.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceNEC Universal RAID Utility versions 1.40 Rev 680 and earlier, 2.31 Rev 1492 and earlier, and 2.5 Rev 2244 and earlier lacks access control mechanisms, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary RAID disk operations. The CVSS score of 9 indicates critical severity with potential for complete data destruction or RAID array manipulation.

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.
-
Verify NEC Universal RAID Utility installationCheck if NEC Universal RAID Utility software is installed on the system. This is typically installed on Windows servers or management stations that control RAID arrays. Look for the application in installed programs or check common installation directories.Affected if The software is installed on the system
-
Determine installed versionLocate the version information for the installed NEC Universal RAID Utility. This is usually available in the application's About section, in Windows Add/Remove Programs, or in the software's documentation.Affected if The installed version is 1.40 or earlier, 2.31 or earlier, or 2.5 or earlier
-
Check if management interface is network accessibleIdentify the network port used by the RAID management interface (typically ports 8888, 8889, or similar). Use network scanning tools or check firewall rules to determine if this port is accessible from untrusted networks.Affected if The RAID management port is open and accessible from network segments that should not have access
-
Verify authentication requirementsAttempt to access the RAID management interface or review its configuration to determine if any authentication is required before allowing access to RAID disk operations.Affected if No authentication is required to access and perform RAID disk operations through the management interface
The system is affected if NEC Universal RAID Utility is installed with an affected version AND the management interface is network-accessible without authentication controls in place.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataRestrict network access to the RAID management interface via firewall rules or network isolation. Implement authentication before the vulnerability is patched by the vendor.
