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
The System Library in VCE Vision Intelligent Operations before 2.6.5 does not properly implement cryptography, which makes it easier for local users to discover credentials by leveraging administrative access.

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 confidence

The System Library in VCE Vision Intelligent Operations before version 2.6.5 implements cryptography improperly, allowing local users with administrative access to discover credentials through the flawed encryption implementation.

MitigationUpgrade VCE Vision Intelligent Operations to version 2.6.5 or later to obtain the corrected cryptography implementation in the System Library.

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 VCE Vision Intelligent Operations is installed
    Query the system for the presence of VCE Vision Intelligent Operations software using system inventory tools or package managers
    Affected if The software is not found on the system, the system is not affected by this vulnerability
  2. Identify the installed version of VCE Vision Intelligent Operations
    Use product-specific commands, configuration files, or management interfaces to retrieve the current software version number
    Affected if The version cannot be determined or is older than 2.6.5
  3. Compare installed version against the affected range
    Review the retrieved version against the vulnerable range: any version <= 2.6.4 is affected
    Affected if The installed version is 2.6.4 or earlier
  4. Verify administrative access exists
    Check for local administrative accounts or users with elevated privileges that could access the System Library and its credential storage
    Affected if Local administrative users exist and can access the System Library component

The environment is affected if VCE Vision Intelligent Operations is installed with version 2.6.4 or earlier, and local administrative users can access the System Library's cryptography implementation.
