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 Cisco AppDynamics App iQ Platform is installed
    Locate the AppDynamics installation directory or check for running processes related to the Enterprise Console (controller, enterprise console service)
    Affected if The product is not Cisco AppDynamics App iQ Platform, this CVE does not apply
  2. Verify the Enterprise Console component is in use
    Check if the Enterprise Console service/process is running or configured. This vulnerability exists specifically in the Enterprise Console component, not in the Controller or Agent alone
    Affected if Enterprise Console is not installed or not in use, this specific vulnerability does not apply
  3. Identify the installed AppDynamics version
    Access the Enterprise Console UI and navigate to the About or Version information page, or check version files in the installation directory such as <install_dir>/version.txt or similar version metadata files
    Affected if Unable to determine the version, manual verification of version files is required
  4. Compare your version against affected ranges
    Check if the installed version matches: any version <= 4.4.3, or specifically 4.4.3.9459, 4.4.3.10005, or 4.4.3.10393
    Affected if The installed version is one of the affected versions listed in the CVE (any build <= 4.4.3, or builds 9459, 10005, 10393)
