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 HPE NetBatch-Plus installation
    Locate the NetBatch-Plus installation directory or check system inventory for NetBatch-Plus packages. On NonStop systems, this may involve checking the installation path or using system management tools.
    Affected if NetBatch-Plus is not installed on the system
  2. Retrieve installed NetBatch-Plus version
    Use the appropriate command or tool to query the NetBatch-Plus version. On NonStop systems, this may involve checking the version attribute of the NetBatch-Plus process or examining the product documentation for version retrieval methods.
    Affected if Unable to determine the version or NetBatch-Plus is not found
  3. Compare version against first affected range
    Check if the installed version starts with t9189h01 and is less than t9189h01 with the ^abw suffix applied. Versions between t9189h01 (inclusive) and t9189h01^abw (exclusive) are affected.
    Affected if Version begins with t9189h01 and is lower than t9189h01^abw
  4. Compare version against second affected range
    Check if the installed version starts with t9189l01 and is less than t9189l01 with the ^aby suffix applied. Versions between t9189l01 (inclusive) and t9189l01^aby (exclusive) are affected.
    Affected if Version begins with t918l01 and is lower than t918l01^aby
  5. Assess network accessibility
    Determine if the NetBatch-Plus application is exposed to network access. Check firewall rules, access controls, and whether the application listens on accessible network interfaces.
    Affected if NetBatch-Plus is network-accessible and version falls within affected ranges

The environment is affected if HPE NetBatch-Plus is installed with a version matching t9189h01 up to (but not including) t9189h01^abw, or t9189l01 up to (but not including) t9189l01^aby, and the application is accessible.
