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 HPE Operations Orchestration is installedCheck for the presence of HPE Operations Orchestration installation directory (commonly at /opt/oo or C:\Program Files\HPE\Operations Orchestration on Linux/Windows systems) or search for process named 'oo' or 'OperationsOrchestration'Affected if The software is present on the system
-
Locate the version file or executableNavigate to the installation directory and look for version information in files such as VERSION.txt, about.properties, or run the command 'ooadmin.sh -version' (Linux) or 'ooadmin.bat -version' (Windows) from the bin folderAffected if Unable to locate version information (may indicate installation is present but corrupted or incomplete)
-
Extract the installed version numberRead the version from the version file or command output. Common locations: VERSION.txt in install root, or output from the version commandAffected if Version displayed is lower than 10.70 (for example, 10.60, 10.50, 10.x where x < 70)
-
Verify the exact version against affected rangeCompare the extracted version to 10.70 using semantic versioning rules. Versions like 10.60, 10.61, 10.6.0.0, 10.5.x are all below 10.70Affected if Installed version is any release prior to 10.70 (including 10.60.0.0, 10.50, 9.x, etc.)
You are affected if HPE Operations Orchestration is installed and the detected version is below 10.70
