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 · unedited
Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in HP ArcSight Logger before 6.0P1 have unknown impact and remote authenticated attack 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 · low confidence

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in HP ArcSight Logger versions before 6.0P1 allow remote authenticated attackers to exploit unknown weaknesses with unknown impact. The specific vulnerability types, attack vectors beyond authentication requirement, and technical root causes are not disclosed in available documentation.

MitigationUpgrade HP ArcSight Logger to version 6.0P1 or later to address the vulnerabilities; ensure all default credentials are changed and follow least-privilege principles for user accounts.

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. Verify HP ArcSight Logger installation
    Identify if HP ArcSight Logger is deployed in your environment by checking for the product in installed software listings, running services, or documentation of deployed security tools.
    Affected if HP ArcSight Logger is present in the environment
  2. Determine installed version
    Use product-specific commands or administrative interfaces to retrieve the exact version number of HP ArcSight Logger. Typical methods include checking the about panel in the management console, running product version commands, or reviewing installation manifests.
    Affected if Version cannot be determined or is lower than 6.0P1
  3. Compare version against affected range
    Compare the installed version number to the affected range: versions before 6.0P1. Note that version 6.0 is explicitly listed as affected.
    Affected if Installed version is 6.0 or any version prior to 6.0P1 (e.g., 5.x, 4.x)
  4. Confirm authentication is enabled
    Verify whether user authentication is configured for the ArcSight Logger interface. The CVE states the vulnerability requires remote authenticated attackers, meaning authentication being present is part of the attack surface.
    Affected if Remote authentication is enabled (this is standard but confirms the attack vector applies)

If HP ArcSight Logger version 6.0 or any version before 6.0P1 is installed and remote authentication is configured, the environment is affected by this CVE.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Upgrade HP ArcSight Logger to version 6.0P1 or later to address the vulnerabilities; ensure all default credentials are changed and follow least-privilege principles for user accounts.

Recommended fix High confidence

HP ArcSight Logger 6.0P1

  1. 1. Confirm current HP ArcSight Logger version is 6.0 by checking the product interface or system information
  2. 2. Back up all Logger configurations, data, and event logs before applying any patches
  3. 3. Download HP ArcSight Logger 6.0P1 (or latest available 6.0.x patch) from HPE Support or authorized distribution channels
  4. 4. Review HP upgrade documentation for Logger 6.0 to 6.0P1 migration procedures
  5. 5. Apply the 6.0P1 patch following HPE's documented upgrade process
  6. 6. After patch application, verify the version now displays as 6.0P1 or later in the product interface
  7. 7. Test critical logging and correlation functions to ensure normal operation
Caveat Patch upgrades typically maintain compatibility but test in non-production environment first
