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.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm Cisco Unity Connection is installed
    Check for Cisco Unity Connection processes or services running on the system, or attempt to access the web administration interface on common ports (usually 8443 or 443)
    Affected if Cisco Unity Connection is not present on the system
  2. Identify the installed version
    Log into the Cisco Unity Connection administration web interface and navigate to System Settings > Version, or use the CLI command 'show version' to retrieve the exact version number
    Affected if The version is 9.1(1) or 9.1(2)
  3. Verify web framework is enabled
    Confirm the Cisco Unity Connection web framework is accessible by attempting to reach the administration interface via HTTPS
    Affected if The web framework is disabled or not accessible

The environment is affected if Cisco Unity Connection versions 9.1(1) or 9.1(2) are installed with the web framework enabled and accessible to authenticated users.
