CVE-2022-23182
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) Data Center Manager software before version 4.1 may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via adjacent 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.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceIntel Data Center Manager software before version 4.1 contains an improper access control vulnerability that allows an unauthenticated attacker with adjacent network access to potentially escalate privileges. The vulnerability stems from missing or inadequate access control checks that should restrict privileged operations.

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 Intel DCM installationCheck for Intel Data Center Manager installation by looking for DCM-related services or installed software. On Windows, check Program Files for 'Intel Data Center Manager' folder or review installed programs. On Linux, check for /opt/intel/dcm or similar installation directories.Affected if Intel Data Center Manager is installed on the system
-
Determine installed DCM versionLocate the DCM version information - typically found in the software's about dialog, installation directory metadata, or version file. Check the main DCM installation folder for a version.txt, readme, or the main executable's properties that display the version number.Affected if The installed version is lower than 4.1 (e.g., 4.0.x, 3.x.x, etc.)
-
Verify network accessibility of DCM interfacesIdentify the network ports and interfaces DCM uses for management (typically ports 9999, 5000, or similar management ports). Use netstat or similar tools to confirm which network interfaces the DCM service is bound to and listening on.Affected if DCM management interface is accessible from untrusted network segments or the network interface is bound to a non-restricted IP address
You are affected if Intel Data Center Manager is installed with a version lower than 4.1 AND the DCM management interface is accessible from an untrusted adjacent network.
