CVE-2018-0613
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 · uneditedNEC Platforms Calsos CSDX and CSDJ series products (CSDX 1.37210411 and earlier, CSDX(P) 4.37210411 and earlier, CSDX(D) 3.37210411 and earlier, CSDX(S) 2.37210411 and earlier, CSDJ-B 01.03.00 and earlier, CSDJ-H 01.03.00 and earlier, CSDJ-D 01.03.00 and earlier, CSDJ-A 03.00.00) allows remote authenticated attackers to bypass access restriction to conduct arbitrary operations with administrative privilege 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 confidenceAuthentication bypass vulnerability in NEC Calsos CSDX and CSDJ series products allows remote authenticated attackers to escalate privileges to administrative level, bypassing access restrictions through unspecified vectors.

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 the system is a NEC Calsos CSDX or CSDJ deviceCheck the device model number, system information page, or product documentation to confirm the product is one of the following series: CSDX, CSDX(p), CSDX(s), CSDX(d), CSDJ B, CSDJ D, CSDJ H, or CSDJ AAffected if The device is any of the listed NEC Calsos CSDX or CSDJ series models
-
Determine the installed firmware versionAccess the device administrative interface or use the vendor-provided management tool to view the firmware version information. This is typically found in System Settings, About, or Device Information pagesAffected if The firmware version cannot be verified or is at or below the affected version numbers for your specific model
-
Compare your firmware version against affected rangesMatch your exact model variant to its version threshold: CSDX <= 1.37210411, CSDX(p) <= 4.37210411, CSDX(s) <= 2.37210411, CSDX(d) <= 3.37210411, CSDJ B/D/H <= 01.03.00, CSDJ A <= 03.00.00Affected if Your firmware version is equal to or lower than the threshold for your specific model variant
-
Verify the device is network accessible with valid credentialsConfirm that remote authentication is enabled and the management interface is accessible over the network. Check if web-based or API-based remote administration is activeAffected if Remote authentication is enabled and the device is accessible over the network, which allows the authentication bypass vector to be exploited
You are affected if your device is a NEC Calsos CSDX or CSDJ series model with firmware version at or below the threshold for your specific variant, and remote authentication 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.
From vendor dataApply vendor-provided firmware/software updates to all affected CSDX and CSDJ product versions. Until patched, restrict network access to these systems to trusted users only and monitor for unauthorized administrative activity.
