CVE-2019-0107
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedInsufficient user prompt in install routine for Intel(R) Data Center Manager SDK before version 5.0.2 may allow a privileged user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · low confidenceIntel Data Center Manager SDK before version 5.0.2 contains an insufficient user prompt vulnerability in its install routine. A privileged local user could potentially exploit this to achieve privilege escalation. The vulnerability requires local access and involves the installer failing to properly prompt or warn users about actions that could lead to elevated privileges.

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.
-
Locate Intel Data Center Manager SDK installationSearch for Intel Data Center Manager SDK in the system program files directories (e.g., C:\Program Files\Intel\, C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\) or check Windows Registry under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Intel or HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Intel for DCM SDK entriesAffected if Intel Data Center Manager SDK is present on the system
-
Identify installed DCM SDK versionExamine the version information of the installed DCM SDK files, typically found in the file properties of the main executable (often named DCM SDK or similar), or check the Windows Installer registry entries under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall for Intel DCM SDKAffected if The version number retrieved is lower than 5.0.2 or the version cannot be determined (missing)
-
Confirm installer components existReview the installation directory for installer-related files such as setup.exe, install.bat, or MSI packages used for DCM SDK deploymentAffected if Installer files from versions prior to 5.0.2 are present on the system
-
Check for prior installation logs or manifestsLook for installation logs, manifest files, or version records in the Intel DCM SDK installation directory or in Windows event logs related to the DCM SDK installationAffected if Installation records show a version less than 5.0.2
A system is affected if Intel Data Center Manager SDK is installed with a version lower than 5.0.2, making it vulnerable to insufficient user prompt issues during the install routine that could enable privilege escalation.
