CVE-2019-18630
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 · uneditedOn Xerox AltaLink B8045/B8055/B8065/B8075/B8090 and C8030/C8035/C8045/C8055/C8070 multifunction printers with software releases before 101.00x.099.28200, portions of the drive containing executable code were not encrypted thus leaving it open to potential cryptographic information disclosure.
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 · high confidenceThe Xerox AltaLink multifunction printers have unencrypted drive partitions containing executable code in software versions prior to 101.00x.099.28200, allowing potential cryptographic information disclosure through drive access.

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 AltaLink printer modelLocate the model number on the front of the device or in the web interface under Device Information. The affected models are B8045, B8055, B8065, B8075, B8090, C8030, C8035, and C8045.Affected if The device is one of these eight AltaLink models.
-
Access the printer web interfaceOpen a web browser and enter the printer IP address to access the Xerox Embedded Web Server. Log in with administrator credentials.Affected if You can access the web interface to view device information.
-
Locate the firmware versionNavigate to the Device Information or General section in the web interface. Look for the Firmware Version or System Software Version field.Affected if A firmware version number is displayed.
-
Compare firmware version to affected rangesMatch your model and firmware version against these thresholds: B8045/B8055/B8065/B8075/B8090 require 103.008.010.14010 or higher; C8030/C8035 require 103.001.010.14010 or higher; C8045 requires 103.002.010.14010 or higher.Affected if Your installed firmware version is LOWER than the required threshold for your specific model.
-
Verify if unencrypted partitions existThis requires physical access or administrative access to check drive encryption status. In the web interface, look under Security or Storage settings for drive encryption or partition status information.Affected if Drive encryption is disabled or unencrypted partitions are present.
A user is affected if they have an AltaLink B8045-B8090 or C8030-C8045 model with firmware below the specific threshold for their model, and the drive partitions remain unencrypted.
