CVE-2013-6212
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 · uneditedUnspecified vulnerability in HP Database and Middleware Automation 10.0, 10.01, 10.10, and 10.20 before 10.20.100 allows remote authenticated users to obtain sensitive information via unknown 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 confidenceHP Database and Middleware Automation versions 10.0, 10.01, 10.10, and 10.20 before 10.20.100 contains an information disclosure vulnerability allowing remote authenticated users to obtain sensitive information through unspecified vectors. The CVSS 6.5 indicates network-accessible exploitation requiring authentication but with low attack complexity.

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 DMA installed versionCheck the product's version information through its web interface, installation directory, or product documentation. Look for version files or check the About section in the management console.Affected if The installed version is 10.0, 10.01, 10.10, or 10.20 (any version before 10.20.100)
-
Verify product edition and componentsConfirm that HP Database and Middleware Automation is installed and running. Check running services or the software inventory on the system.Affected if HP Database and Middleware Automation is installed and running
-
Assess network accessibilityDetermine if the HP DMA web interface or management ports are exposed to the network. Check firewall rules, listening ports, and network configuration for the application.Affected if The application is accessible over the network from untrusted segments
-
Review authentication configurationExamine user accounts, authentication methods, and access controls configured for HP DMA. Identify whether default or weak credentials may be in use.Affected if Remote authentication is enabled and the application accepts network connections
You are affected if HP Database and Middleware Automation version 10.0, 10.01, 10.10, or 10.20 is installed AND the application is network-accessible with remote authentication enabled.

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 dataUpgrade HP Database and Middleware Automation to version 10.20.100 or later. As a compensating control, restrict network access to the application to only trusted authenticated users and monitor for unauthorized access attempts.
