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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm HPE IMC installation
    Check for HPE Intelligent Management Center on the system by searching for installation directories (commonly under C:\hp\imc or C:\Program Files\HP\IMC) or look for the 'hpimc' or 'IMC' service in Windows Services or init scripts on Linux.
    Affected if HPE IMC is not installed on the system.
  2. Locate IMC PLAT version file
    Navigate to the IMC installation directory and look for a version file, about dialog, or check the 'version.properties' or 'build.info' file typically found in the core platform directory. Alternatively, access the IMC web console and look for version information in the Help or About section.
    Affected if The version cannot be determined from the installation.
  3. Extract installed PLAT version
    Read the version number from the identified version file or web interface. Common locations include the 'plat' or 'core' subdirectory, or the login page footer in the web console.
    Affected if No version information is displayed or the file is missing.
  4. Compare against affected version range
    Compare your extracted version to the affected range: any version lower than 7.3, or exactly version 7.3 (prior to E0506P09 patch). Note the full version string including any patch identifiers like 'E0506P09'.
    Affected if The installed version is less than 7.3 or is exactly 7.3 without the E0506P09 patch.
