CVE-2020-9062
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 · uneditedDiebold Nixdorf ProCash 2100xe USB ATMs running Wincor Probase version 1.1.30 do not encrypt, authenticate, or verify the integrity of messages between the CCDM and the host computer, allowing an attacker with physical access to internal ATM components to commit deposit forgery by intercepting and modifying messages to the host computer, such as the amount and value of currency being deposited.
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 · high confidenceThe Diebold Nixdorf ProCash 2100xe USB ATMs running Wincor Probase 1.1.30 lack encryption, authentication, and integrity verification on messages between the Cash Deposit Module (CDDM) and the host computer. An attacker with physical access to internal ATM components can intercept and modify deposit messages (amount and currency value), enabling deposit forgery.

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 the ATM hardware modelLocate the ATM terminal and verify the model number on the physical hardware or system inventory. Confirm it is a Diebold Nixdorf ProCash 2100xe.Affected if The ATM is NOT a ProCash 2100xe model, as this vulnerability is specific to that hardware.
-
Check Wincor Probase software installation and versionAccess the ATM terminal or connected management system and query the installed software for Wincor Probase. Verify the exact version number installed.Affected if Probase is NOT installed, or the installed version is NOT 1.1.30. The vulnerability applies ONLY to version 1.1.30.
-
Verify Cash Deposit Module connectivityInspect the ATM internal components or system configuration to determine if a Cash Deposit Module (CDDM) is connected and operational. Check USB device listings or hardware manifests for CDDM presence.Affected if No Cash Deposit Module is connected or configured. The vulnerability only applies when the CDDM is present and active.
-
Inspect CDDM-to-host communication protocol settingsExamine the communication configuration between the Cash Deposit Module and the host computer. Look for protocol settings, encryption parameters, or authentication flags in the Probase configuration files or management interface.Affected if Encryption, authentication, or integrity verification is DISABLED or NOT CONFIGURED on the CDDM-host communication. The vulnerability exists precisely when these security measures are absent.
You are affected if you have a ProCash 2100xe ATM running Wincor Probase version 1.1.30 with an active Cash Deposit Module that lacks encryption, authentication, and message integrity controls on its communication channel.

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 dataImplement physical security controls to restrict access to internal ATM components, and coordinate with Diebold Nixdorf for a vendor patch that adds encryption, authentication, and message integrity verification to the CCDM-host protocol.
