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.
-
Confirm HP UCMDB Configuration Manager is installedCheck your systems for the presence of HP UCMDB Configuration Manager software. Common installation paths include C:\Program Files\HP\UCMDB\ or /opt/HP/UCMDB/ on Linux systems.Affected if The product is not installed in your environment
-
Identify the installed versionLocate the version information for your HP UCMDB installation. This is typically found in the product UI under Help > About, in the installation directory readme files, or via the web management interface.Affected if Unable to determine version information from your installation
-
Compare against affected versionsCheck if your installed version matches any of these: 10.10, 10.11, 10.20, 10.21, 10.22, or 10.23Affected if Your version matches one of the listed affected versions
