CVE-2020-9047
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 · uneditedA vulnerability exists that could allow the execution of unauthorized code or operating system commands on systems running exacqVision Web Service versions 20.06.3.0 and prior and exacqVision Enterprise Manager versions 20.06.4.0 and prior. An attacker with administrative privileges could potentially download and run a malicious executable that could allow OS command injection on the system.
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 confidenceA command injection vulnerability in exacqVision Web Service (≤20.06.3.0) and Enterprise Manager (≤20.06.4.0) allows authenticated administrators to download and execute malicious executables, leading to arbitrary OS command execution on the affected system.

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 exacqVision productsReview installed software on the system for Johnson Controls exacqVision Enterprise Manager or exacqVision Web Service. Check Programs and Features on Windows or package lists on Linux.Affected if Either exacqVision Enterprise Manager or exacqVision Web Service is installed
-
Determine exacqVision Web Service versionLocate the exacqVision Web Service installation and check the version. This may be found in the application itself via Help > About, in the installation directory, or in the Windows registry under the exacqVision service entries.Affected if The version is 20.06.3.0 or earlier
-
Determine exacqVision Enterprise Manager versionLocate the exacqVision Enterprise Manager installation and check the version. This may be found in the application itself via Help > About, in the installation directory, or in the Windows registry.Affected if The version is 20.06.4.0 or earlier
-
Confirm web service accessibilityDetermine if the exacqVision web service is exposed on the network by checking for open ports (typically 8081 or 8082) or by accessing the web interface URL.Affected if The web service is accessible over the network to untrusted users
-
Verify administrative user accessReview the list of accounts with administrative privileges on the exacqVision system. Determine if all administrator accounts are limited to trusted personnel.Affected if Administrative accounts exist for users who are not fully trusted or if the web interface is accessible without additional network access controls
The environment is affected if exacqVision Web Service version is 20.06.3.0 or earlier, or Enterprise Manager version is 20.06.4.0 or earlier, and the web service is accessible to authenticated administrators.

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 exacqVision Web Service to version 20.06.4.0 or later and Enterprise Manager to version 20.06.5.0 or later to resolve the vulnerability. Restrict administrative access to trusted personnel as an interim control.
