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 Bitdefender Safepay is installedCheck for the presence of Bitdefender Safepay in the system.

-
Identify the installed Safepay versionRight-click safepay.exe, select Properties, then go to the Details tab to view the File Version. Alternatively, open Windows Task Manager, locate the Safepay process, right-click and select Properties to view version information.Affected if Unable to determine version means the product may not be properly installed.
-
Compare version against vulnerable rangeCompare the installed version number to 25.0.7.29. The version format is typically major.minor.build.revision (e.g., 25.0.7.28). Check if the installed version is lower than 25.0.7.29.Affected if Installed version is less than 25.0.7.29, indicating the system is vulnerable to this CVE.
-
Verify the built-in browser is in useThis vulnerability affects the built-in browser component of Safepay. Confirm that Safepay's browser feature (accessible via the Safepay application) is being used for web browsing or file operations.Affected if The Safepay browser is actively used, particularly for file upload/download operations.
