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 Trend Micro Email Encryption Gateway is installedCheck for the product by examining installed software on the server, looking for directories named 'Trend Micro Email Encryption Gateway' or 'TEMPG' in Program Files, or checking running services for 'Trend Micro Email Encryption Gateway' processes.Affected if The product is found on the system.
-
Determine the installed version of the productLocate the version information in the installation directory, typically found in an 'about' or 'version' file within the main product directory, or check the Windows registry under HKLM\SOFTWARE\TrendMicro\EmailEncryptionGateway for the Version value.Affected if The installed version is 5.5 or any version lower than 5.5.
-
Verify if the web administrative interface is accessibleAccess the web interface URL for the Email Encryption Gateway (commonly on ports 8443, 443, or 8080) using a browser to confirm the login page is reachable from network locations.Affected if The administrative web interface is exposed and reachable.
-
Confirm authentication is possible to the web interfaceAttempt to log in to the administrative interface with valid credentials or verify that valid administrator accounts exist in the system.Affected if Any authenticated administrative user account exists and can log in to the web interface.
-
Check if form configuration functionality is accessibleNavigate to the form configuration section within the administrative web interface after authentication, typically found under settings, configuration, or form management menus.Affected if The form configuration feature is accessible to authenticated administrators.
A user is affected if Trend Micro Email Encryption Gateway version 5.5 or lower is installed and the web administrative interface with form configuration is accessible to authenticated users.
