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 the device productConfirm the system is a BeaconMedaes Scroll Medical Air System by checking the product label, web interface banner, or system documentationAffected if The device is a BeaconMedaes Scroll Medical Air System
-
Check the firmware versionAccess the TotalAlert Web Application admin interface or check system information pages to find the installed firmware version numberAffected if The firmware version is lower than 4107600010.23 (for example, 4107600010.22 or earlier)
-
Verify the web application is accessibleAttempt to access the TotalAlert Web Application via HTTP/HTTPS on the device network interfaceAffected if The web interface is reachable on the network
-
Test for unauthenticated URL accessAttempt to access the specific vulnerable URL endpoint (such as /admin or similar sensitive paths) without providing login credentialsAffected if The URL returns sensitive application information or allows access without authentication
A user is affected if they have a BeaconMedaes Scroll Medical Air System running firmware version below 4107600010.23 with the TotalAlert Web Application exposed on the network and the vulnerable endpoint accessible without credentials.

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 data4107600010.23
Upgrade TotalAlert Web Application to version v4107600010.23 or later. If immediate patching is not possible, restrict network access to the web interface using firewall rules or VPN access controls.
