CVE-2015-7862
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 · uneditedPersistent Accelerite Radia Client Automation (formerly HP Client Automation) 7.9 through 9.1 before 2015-02-19 improperly implements the Role Based Access Control feature, which might allow remote attackers to modify an account's role assignments 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 confidenceAccelerite Radia Client Automation versions 7.9 through 9.1 before February 2015 has a flawed Role Based Access Control (RBAC) implementation that fails to properly validate authorization when modifying user role assignments. This allows remote attackers to elevate privileges or modify account role assignments through unspecified vectors, bypassing intended access restrictions.

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 Accelerite Radia Client Automation is installedCheck the installed programs or application inventory for 'Accelerite Radia Client Automation' or 'Radia Client Automation'Affected if The product is present on the system
-
Determine the installed versionCheck the product version through the Windows Add/Remove Programs list, the application itself (typically in Help > About), or the registry under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UninstallAffected if The version is 7.9, 8.1, 9.0, or 9.1
-
Verify the RBAC management interface is accessibleCheck if the Radia management console or web interface port (commonly port 3465 or similar) is listening and accessible from the network using netstat or port scanning toolsAffected if The management interface is exposed to the network without restriction
-
Review user role assignments for unauthorized modificationsAccess the RBAC administration module within Radia and audit all user accounts for unexpected role changes, or query the user role database/configuration files for discrepanciesAffected if Any user account has a role assignment that was not made by an authorized administrator
-
Check logs for role modification eventsReview Radia server logs, Windows Event Viewer, and audit logs for events related to user role changes, privilege escalation, or RBAC modificationsAffected if Log entries indicate role assignment changes that were not initiated by known administrators
A system is affected if Accelerite Radia Client Automation versions 7.9, 8.1, 9.0, or 9.1 is installed and the RBAC management interface is network-accessible, with evidence of unauthorized role modifications.

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 dataApply the vendor patch released on 2015-02-19 or later. If patching is not immediately possible, review and restrict network access to the management interfaces to limit exposure, and audit existing administrative accounts for unauthorized role modifications.
