dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify installed SonicWall Hosted Email Security versionAccess the HES admin console or check system information panel to retrieve the current software version numberAffected if The installed version is 10.0.17.7319 or any version lower than that
