CVE-2022-21152
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 · uneditedImproper access control in the Intel(R) Edge Insights for Industrial software before version 2.6.1 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access.
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.

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 version of Intel Edge Insights for IndustrialLocate and inspect the installed Intel Edge Insights for Industrial software version using system inventory tools, package management systems, or product-specific version inspection commands available in your deploymentAffected if The installed version is any release prior to 2.6.1 (for example, 2.5.0, 2.4.x, or earlier)
-
Determine if local user authentication is configuredReview the Intel Edge Insights for Industrial configuration to identify whether local user accounts or local authentication mechanisms are enabled for the installationAffected if Local user authentication is enabled and the software version is below 2.6.1, allowing an authenticated local user potential unauthorized access to information
-
Verify local access control permissionsExamine user role assignments and permission configurations within Intel Edge Insights for Industrial to determine if role-based access controls are properly enforced for locally authenticated usersAffected if Local authenticated users exist and the software version is below 2.6.1, indicating the improper access control vulnerability may be present
Your environment is affected if Intel Edge Insights for Industrial is installed at any version prior to 2.6.1 and local user authentication is configured, as an authenticated local user could access information outside their granted permissions.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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.
