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 U.motion Builder installationLocate the U.motion Builder application on the system. Check for installation directories, web server document roots, or the application binary/package. Look for version information in installer logs, application metadata, or the program files.Affected if U.motion Builder is installed and the version is unknown or less than 1.3.4
-
Locate loadtemplate.phpSearch the web server directory for the file loadtemplate.php. This file is typically found in the web application's root or a subdirectory related to the U.motion Builder interface.Affected if The file loadtemplate.php exists in the web-accessible directory
-
Verify web interface accessibilityDetermine if the U.motion Builder web interface is network-accessible. Check firewall rules, network bindings, and web server configuration to confirm the application is exposed over HTTP/HTTPS.Affected if The web interface is accessible remotely or by untrusted users
-
Compare installed version against affected rangeExtract the exact version number of the installed U.motion Builder and compare it to the affected range: versions prior to 1.3.4 are vulnerable.Affected if The installed version is below 1.3.4
If U.motion Builder version is below 1.3.4 AND the loadtemplate.php file exists in a web-accessible location, the environment is affected by this SQL injection vulnerability.
