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.
-
Locate the SmartTagPlugin in the SmartThings applicationOpen the SmartThings mobile app, navigate to the Plugins or Add-ons section, and find SmartTagPlugin in the list of installed pluginsAffected if SmartTagPlugin is installed and visible in the plugins list
-
