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
Insufficient access controls in the AMD Link Android app may potentially result in information disclosure.

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

The AMD Link Android app has insufficient access controls that could allow an attacker to access sensitive information without proper authorization. This vulnerability in the mobile application's permission or authentication mechanisms could expose user data or system information to unauthorized parties.

MitigationImplement proper access control checks and validation throughout the AMD Link Android application to ensure all sensitive operations and data are protected by appropriate authorization mechanisms.

Verify against the referenced sources before acting — the references below are authoritative for this CVE, this summary is not.

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. Check installed AMD Link app version
    On the Android device, go to Settings > Apps > AMD Link, or use ADB command: adb shell dumpsys package com.amd.link | grep versionName
    Affected if The displayed version is lower than 5.0.220614 (e.g., 5.0.220400, 4.x.x, etc.)
  2. Verify version from app package
    Use ADB to query the package info: adb shell pm dump com.amd.link | findstr versionName
    Affected if versionName shows a version number less than 5.0.220614

You are affected if the installed AMD Link Android app version is less than 5.0.220614, as the insufficient access control vulnerability exists in those versions.

Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.

Check your environment

Paste your version and any relevant configuration and it will be compared against the affected criteria above. Do not include secrets or credentials.

AI-assisted, checked against the advisory. Informational, not a guarantee.

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.
