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 Intel RAID Web Console 3 is installedOn Windows, check for the application via Programs and Features, or search for 'RAID Web Console 3' in the Start menu. Also check for installation directories such as C:\Program Files\Intel\RAID Web Console 3 or C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\RAID Web Console 3.Affected if The software is present on the system
-
Identify installed versionLocate the version information. Common methods: right-click the application executable (often named RaidWebConsole3.exe or similar in the installation folder, then select Properties > Details), check the version in Add/Remove Programs, or look for a version file in the installation directory.Affected if Version number is lower than 4.186
-
Verify web service is runningOpen Services console (services.msc) and look for a service related to Intel RAID Web Console 3, typically named 'RAID Web Console 3' or 'Intel RAID Web Console 3'. Check if its status is 'Running'.Affected if The web service is running and the version is below 4.186
-
Confirm web interface is network-accessibleCheck if the web console port is listening. Default ports are typically 9443 or 9444 for HTTPS, or 8080 for HTTP. Use command: netstat -an | findstr '9443 9444 8080' to see if the service is listening on network interfaces. Also verify the service is bound to 0.0.0.0 rather than localhost only.Affected if The web interface is exposed on a network interface and the version is below 4.186
A user is affected if Intel RAID Web Console 3 version lower than 4.186 is installed and the web interface service is running and accessible.
