CVE-2019-3724
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 · uneditedRSA Netwitness Platform versions prior to 11.2.1.1 is vulnerable to an Authorization Bypass vulnerability. A remote low privileged attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability to gain access to administrative information including credentials.
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 confidenceRSA Netwitness Platform prior to 11.2.1.1 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability where a remote low-privileged attacker can access administrative information including stored credentials, indicating insufficient access control enforcement on sensitive endpoints.
Verify against the referenced sources before acting — the references below are authoritative for this CVE, this summary is not.

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 installed RSA Netwitness Platform versionLocate the version information in the RSA Netwitness Platform administration interface or check the version file typically found in the installation directory. Common locations include the About section in the web UI or running 'rpm -q rsa-nw-*' or 'dpkg -l rsa-nw-*' on Linux systems.Affected if The installed version is lower than 11.2.1.1 (for example, 11.2.0.0, 11.1.x, 11.0.x, or earlier)
-
Identify installed RSA Security Analytics versionLocate the version information in the RSA Security Analytics administration interface or check system information through the SA web console. Use 'rpm -q' or 'dpkg -l' commands to query installed Security Analytics packages.Affected if The installed version is lower than 10.6.6.1 (for example, 10.6.5.0, 10.6.x series, or earlier)
-
Determine if web services are exposed externallyReview network configuration and firewall rules to determine if the RSA Netwitness or Security Analytics web interfaces are accessible from untrusted networks. Check the ListenAddress settings in the server configuration files.Affected if The administrative web interface is reachable from low-privileged or untrusted network segments
-
Review access logs for unauthorized administrative endpoint accessExamine the RSA Netwitness/Security Analytics access logs (typically in /var/log/netwitness/* or the log viewer in the web UI) for requests to administrative endpoints from users with standard or low-privileged accounts. Look for HTTP 200 responses on paths that should require administrator roles.Affected if Logs show successful access to credential storage endpoints or administrative information by non-administrator accounts
Your environment is affected if you are running RSA Netwitness Platform below version 11.2.1.1 or RSA Security Analytics below version 10.6.6.1 AND the web interface is accessible to low-privileged users.
