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 installed Cisco NAC Manager versionAccess the NAC Manager administrative console or check the software version through the management interface. Typically found in the About or System Information section of the web UI, or via CLI command 'show version' if SSH access is available.Affected if The installed version is 4.8.0, 4.8.1, 4.8.2, 4.8.3, 4.9.0, or 4.9.1 (any version before 4.8.3.1 or 4.9.2).
-
Verify web interface accessibilityConfirm whether the NAC Manager web interface is reachable from network locations. Check firewall rules or access control lists that permit HTTP/HTTPS traffic to the NAC Manager IP address.Affected if The web management interface is exposed to network access beyond the administrative zone, increasing attack surface for the SQL injection flaw.
-
Confirm active NAC Manager servicesVerify that the NAC Manager application services are running. Check process status via the operating system or confirm the appliance is powered on and responding to requests.Affected if NAC Manager is actively running with the vulnerable software version, as the flaw requires the application to be operational to exploit.
A system is affected if it runs any version of Cisco NAC Manager between 4.8.0 and 4.8.3 (inclusive) or between 4.9.0 and 4.9.1 (inclusive), with the web interface accessible to potential attackers.
