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
Mirametrix Glance before 5.1.1.42207 (released on 2018-08-30) allows a local attacker to elevate privileges. NOTE: this is unrelated to products from the glance.com and glance.net websites.

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 confidence

Mirametrix Glance versions prior to 5.1.1.42207 contain a local privilege escalation vulnerability that allows an unprivileged local attacker to gain elevated (likely administrator or system) privileges on the affected system.

MitigationUpgrade Mirametrix Glance to version 5.1.1.42207 or later (released 2018-08-30). If upgrading is not immediately feasible, restrict local access to trusted users and monitor for unauthorized privilege escalation attempts.

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 Mirametrix Glance is installed

    Affected if Mirametrix Glance appears in the installed programs list
  2. Determine the installed version
    Locate the Mirametrix Glance executable or check its properties/details. Common paths include C:\Program Files\Mirametrix\Glance\ or check via the Windows registry under the uninstall key for DisplayVersion
    Affected if A version number is found that is less than 5.1.1.42207
  3. Confirm the version is in the vulnerable range
    Compare your identified version against 5.1.1.42207 using standard version comparison
    Affected if The installed version number is lower than 5.1.1.42207 (e.g., 5.1.0.12345, 5.0.x.x, or any build before 42207)

If Mirametrix Glance is installed and the version is lower than 5.1.1.42207, the system is affected by this local privilege escalation vulnerability.
