CVE-2015-0977
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 · uneditedNetwork Vision IntraVue before 2.3.0a14 on Windows allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands via unspecified 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 confidenceNetwork Vision IntraVue before version 2.3.0a14 on Windows contains a critical vulnerability allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary operating system commands. The CVSS score of 10 indicates a pre-authentication command injection flaw that can be exploited over the network without requiring credentials, giving attackers full control of the affected Windows host.

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 if IntraVue is installedCheck Windows registry under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall for an entry named 'IntraVue' or 'Network Vision IntraVue', or look for the IntraVue installation directory (commonly C:\Program Files\IntraVue or C:\IntraVue)Affected if The software is not found on the system, meaning it is not installed and not affected
-
Determine installed IntraVue versionOpen the Windows registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\IntraVue or check the version info in the IntraVue installation directory for a file named version.txt, about.html, or the main executable propertiesAffected if The version displayed is 2.3.0a11 or lower, or if no version can be determined and IntraVue is present
-
Verify the service is running and network-accessibleOpen Windows Services (services.msc) and locate the IntraVue service to confirm it is running. Use 'netstat -an | findstr' to check if IntraVue ports (typically 8080, 8443, or the configured HTTP/HTTPS port) are listening on external interfacesAffected if The IntraVue service is running and bound to 0.0.0.0 or a publicly accessible IP address, exposing the vulnerable service to the network
-
Confirm pre-authentication accessAttempt to access the IntraVue web interface remotely (http://target:port) without providing credentials. If the login page or any application functionality is accessible without authentication, the command injection flaw can be exploitedAffected if The web interface is reachable without authentication, meaning an unauthenticated remote attacker can reach the vulnerable endpoint
If Network Vision IntraVue version 2.3.0a11 or earlier is installed and the service is network-accessible, the system is vulnerable to remote command execution via pre-authentication command injection.

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.
dbcve · scopedUpgrade Network Vision IntraVue to version 2.3.0a14 or later to remediate this vulnerability. As an interim control, restrict network access to the IntraVue service via firewall rules or network segmentation to prevent unauthorized remote attackers from reaching the vulnerable application.
2.3.0a14 or later
- 1. Back up the current IntraVue configuration and any critical data
- 2. Obtain the fixed version (2.3.0a14 or later) from the vendor or official distribution channel
- 3. Stop the IntraVue service on the Windows server
- 4. Install version 2.3.0a14 or later following the vendor's standard upgrade procedure
- 5. Restart the IntraVue service
- 6. Verify the installation by checking the software version in the application UI or about page
- 7. Test that the application functions normally and command injection vulnerability is resolved
