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 · unedited
Okta Advanced Server Access Client for Linux and macOS prior to version 1.58.0 was found to be vulnerable to command injection via a specially crafted URL. An attacker, who has knowledge of a valid team name for the victim and also knows a valid target host where the user has access, can execute commands on the local 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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Verify Okta Advanced Server Access Client is installed
    On Linux, run 'which asa' or 'which server-access' to locate the binary. On macOS, check /Applications for 'Advanced Server Access' or run 'mdfind kMDItemCFBundleIdentifier | grep okta'
    Affected if The client binary or application is found on the system
  2. Determine installed version of the client
    Run the client with version flag: 'asa --version' or 'server-access --version' depending on binary name. On macOS, right-click the app > Get Info or run 'mdls' on the application bundle
    Affected if Command returns a version number that can be compared against 1.58.0
  3. Compare version against vulnerability threshold
    Parse the version number from step 2 and compare to 1.58.0 using semantic version comparison (e.g., 1.57.x, 1.56.x are less than 1.58.0)
    Affected if Installed version is less than 1.58.0 (for example, 1.57.0, 1.56.2, etc.)
  4. Confirm client configuration includes team and target
    Check for client configuration files in ~/.asa/ or /etc/asa/ directories, or run 'asa status' or 'server-access status' to see active team and target connections
    Affected if Client has an active team name and configured target host - only then would the crafted URL attack vector be viable

User is affected if Okta Advanced Server Access Client is installed with version lower than 1.58.0 and has an active team/target configuration.
