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
IBM UrbanCode Deploy 6.0.x before 6.0.1.13, 6.1.x before 6.1.3.3, and 6.2.x before 6.2.1.1, when agent-relay Codestation artifact caching is enabled, allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and obtain sensitive artifact information 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 · high confidence

IBM UrbanCode Deploy contains an authentication bypass vulnerability when agent-relay Codestation artifact caching is enabled. Remote attackers can bypass authentication mechanisms and obtain sensitive artifact information without proper credentials. The vulnerability affects versions 6.0.x before 6.0.1.13, 6.1.x before 6.1.3.3, and 6.2.x before 6.2.1.1.

MitigationUpgrade to IBM UrbanCode Deploy versions 6.0.1.13, 6.1.3.3, 6.2.1.1 or later. Alternatively, if upgrading is not immediately feasible, disable the agent-relay Codestation artifact caching feature as a compensating control.

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. Identify installed IBM UrbanCode Deploy version
    Locate the product's version file or use the product's CLI tool to query the current version (for example, by inspecting installation directories or running version queries specific to the product)
    Affected if The installed version falls within 6.0.x before 6.0.1.13, 6.1.x before 6.1.3.3, or 6.2.x before 6.2.1.1
  2. Determine if agent-relay component is configured
    Inspect the IBM UrbanCode Deploy configuration files or deployment topology to confirm whether any agent-relay components are installed and active in the environment
    Affected if Agent-relay is present in the deployment configuration
  3. Verify if Codestation artifact caching is enabled
    Examine the agent-relay configuration settings to determine whether the Codestation artifact caching feature is turned on (this is typically a configuration parameter or checkbox within the agent-relay settings)
    Affected if Codestation artifact caching is explicitly enabled on the agent-relay component
  4. Confirm artifact endpoint accessibility
    Test access to the Codestation artifact download endpoints without providing credentials to verify whether unauthenticated access is possible
    Affected if Artifact endpoints respond without requiring authentication

You are affected if your IBM UrbanCode Deploy version is 6.0.x before 6.0.1.13, 6.1.x before 6.1.3.3, or 6.2.x before 6.2.1.1 AND the agent-relay Codestation artifact caching feature is enabled.

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.
