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.
-
Confirm Dell Avamar Data Migration Enabler Web Interface is installedLocate and inspect the web application installation directory, or query the system for installed Dell Avamar software componentsAffected if The software is present on the system
-
Identify the installed version of the web interfaceCheck the version information of the Dell Avamar Data Migration Enabler Web Interface, typically found in application metadata, about page, or version file within the installation directoryAffected if The version is exactly 1.0.50 or 1.0.51
-
Verify the web interface is accessible and runningConfirm the Avamar web service is running and the web interface port is listening, typically on HTTP/HTTPS portsAffected if The web interface is actively running and accessible
-
Review web server logs for directory traversal attemptsExamine the Avamar web interface access and error logs for suspicious URL patterns containing ../ or absolute file paths in request parametersAffected if Directory traversal patterns are present in recent web requests
You are affected if the Dell Avamar Data Migration Enabler Web Interface is installed with version 1.0.50 or 1.0.51 and the web interface is accessible, as these exact versions contain the LFI vulnerability that allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via crafted URL requests.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpgrade to a patched version of Dell EMC Avamar ADMe Web Interface. If upgrade is not immediately possible, implement web application firewall rules to block directory traversal patterns in URL parameters and restrict web interface access to trusted IPs.
