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. Verify HPE IMC is installed
    Check Windows services or installed programs for 'HPE Intelligent Management Center' or 'IMC' entries. On Windows, inspect Add/Remove Programs or the program installation directory.
    Affected if HPE IMC PLAT is present on the system
  2. Identify IMC PLAT version
    Launch the IMC platform client and navigate to the About or Help section to view the version information, or check the Windows registry under HKLM\Software\Hewlett-Packard\IMC for the version entry.
    Affected if Version displays as 7.3 or lower (any version prior to 7.3 E0506P09)
  3. Confirm exact version number
    If version shows 7.3, check whether it includes the E0506P09 patch level. The full vulnerable version is 7.3 (any build prior to E0506P09).
    Affected if Version is exactly 7.3 without the E0506P09 patch, or any 7.3.x version prior to E0506P09

The system is affected if HPE Intelligent Management Center PLAT is installed and the version is 7.3 or any earlier version (meaning any version less than 7.3 E0506P09).
