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
Cross-site scripting in the Intel(R) EMA software before version 1.8.0 may allow a privileged user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local 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 confidence

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Intel(R) EMA software versions before 1.8.0 allows a privileged user to execute malicious scripts, potentially enabling privilege escalation via local network access.

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. Confirm Intel EMA is installed
    Check system inventory or installed programs list for 'Intel Endpoint Management Assistant' or 'Intel EMA'
    Affected if Software is not present on the system
  2. Identify installed version
    Use system inventory tools, check program files directory, or run: wmic product where "name like '%Intel%EMA%'" get version
    Affected if Version is found to be lower than 1.8.0 (e.g., 1.7.x, 1.6.x, etc.)
  3. Verify web interface is accessible
    Check if the Intel EMA web console port is listening (typically ports 8080, 8443, or configured custom port) using netstat or similar network scanning tool
    Affected if Web interface is exposed and version is below 1.8.0
  4. Confirm privileged user accounts exist
    Review user accounts configured within Intel EMA administrative console or user database
    Affected if Privileged administrative users are defined in the software

System is affected if Intel Endpoint Management Assistant is installed with a version prior to 1.8.0 and the web interface is accessible with privileged user accounts configured.
