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 Cisco Unified Operations Manager installationCheck system inventory or installed software list for 'Cisco Unified Operations Manager' or 'CUOM'Affected if The software is present on the system
-
Confirm management interface is accessibleAttempt to reach the CUOM management URL (typically ports 443 or 8443 via HTTPS) from a network locationAffected if The management interface responds to HTTP/HTTPS requests
-
Verify remote authentication is enabledCheck the CUOM administration settings or user authentication configuration to confirm remote authenticated access is permittedAffected if Remote authenticated users can log into the management interface
-
Check network exposure of management interfaceReview firewall rules or network access controls to determine if the management port is exposed to untrusted networksAffected if The management interface is reachable from networks outside the trusted administrative zone
-
Review logs for SQL injection attemptsSearch CUOM application and web server logs for SQL keywords (SELECT, UNION, INSERT, DROP) in query parameters or input fieldsAffected if Suspicious SQL-like patterns appear in logs associated with the management interface
A user is affected if Cisco Unified Operations Manager is installed with its management interface accessible to remote authenticated users, as all versions contain the SQL injection flaw in an unspecified input field.

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 dataApply the vendor patch from Cisco for Bug ID CSCud80179. Until patched, limit access to the management application to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious SQL-like patterns in input fields.
