The vulnerability potentially allows the unauthorized execution of code in the system via the network interface.

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 · moderate confidence

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. Identify installed Bosch video management products
    Review installed software on the system for any of these products: Access Professional Edition, Bosch Video Client, BVMS (Bosch Video Management System), Building Integration System, Configuration Manager, Video Recording Manager, Video SDK, or Video Streaming Gateway. Check Windows Programs and Features, or use 'Get-ItemProperty' in PowerShell for product names.
    Affected if Any of the listed Bosch products are installed on the system.
  2. Check installed version of Access Professional Edition
    Locate the installation directory or check registry keys for Access Professional Edition version information. Compare the found version against the affected range >= 3.0 and <= 3.7.
    Affected if Version is between 3.0 and 3.7 inclusive.
  3. Check installed version of Bosch Video Client
    Check program files or application metadata for Bosch Video Client version. Compare against affected version < 1.7.6.079.
    Affected if Version is earlier than 1.7.6.079.
  4. Check installed version of Bosch Video Management System (BVMS)
    Locate BVMS installation and retrieve version information. Compare against affected version <= 9.0.
    Affected if Version is 9.0 or earlier.
  5. Check installed version of Building Integration System
    Find Building Integration System installation and version. Compare against affected versions: >= 2.2 to <= 4.4, or exactly 4.5, 4.6, or 4.6.1.
    Affected if Version falls in ranges 2.2-4.4, or is exactly 4.5, 4.6, or 4.6.1.
  6. Check network exposure of Bosch video services
    Examine network configuration and firewall rules to determine if Bosch video management services are listening on network interfaces accessible from outside the local system. Use 'netstat' or similar tools to identify ports used by these products.
    Affected if The network interface is exposed and the installed product version is within the affected ranges.

A user is affected if any of the listed Bosch products is installed with a version matching the affected ranges and the network interface is accessible.
