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.
-
Verify HPE CentralView Fraud Risk Management is installedCheck the system for HPE CentralView Fraud Risk Management installation directories or registered services. Common locations include /opt/hp/ or C:\Program Files\HP\ on Windows systems. Look for directories named 'CentralView' or 'CV' related to HPE software.Affected if The product is found installed on the system
-
Determine the installed version of HPE CentralView Fraud Risk ManagementLocate version information in the product installation directory. Common files include version.info, about.html, or a readme file within the installation directory. Alternatively, check the Windows registry under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Hewlett-Packard\CentralView or HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Hewlett-Packard\CentralView for version entries.Affected if The installed version is identified as lower than 6.1 (for example, 6.0, 5.x, or earlier)
-
Check if the web interface or REST API is accessibleIdentify the web service port (typically 8080, 8443, or as configured during installation). Attempt to access the base URL of the HPE CentralView web interface from a system that should not have authentication privileges. Observe whether the application returns content without requiring login credentials.Affected if The web interface returns application content or file listings without any authentication prompt
