CVE-2023-0384
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 · uneditedUser-controlled operations could have allowed Denial of Service in M-Files Server before 23.4.12528.1 due to uncontrolled memory consumption for a scheduled job.
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 confidenceA Denial of Service vulnerability in M-Files Server versions before 23.4.12528.1 allows attackers to trigger uncontrolled memory consumption through user-controlled operations affecting scheduled job processing, causing the server to become unavailable.

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.
-
Identify M-Files Server installationCheck the M-Files Server version through the M-Files Admin application under 'About' or by reviewing the installed program information in Windows Control Panel > Programs and FeaturesAffected if The installed version is earlier than 23.4.12528.1
-
Verify scheduled job configurationAccess M-Files Admin and navigate to the Scheduled Jobs section to review any configured scheduled jobsAffected if Any scheduled jobs are defined and active in the M-Files Server configuration
-
Check server memory behaviorMonitor M-Files Server process memory usage via Windows Task Manager or Performance Monitor, focusing on memory consumption patterns during scheduled job executionAffected if Memory consumption grows abnormally and is not released during scheduled job processing cycles
-
Review event logs for memory-related errorsExamine Windows Application Event Log and M-Files Server logs for events indicating memory exhaustion, service unavailability, or scheduled job failures occurring repeatedlyAffected if Event logs show repeated failures or memory-related errors correlated with scheduled job execution
The environment is affected if M-Files Server version is earlier than 23.4.12528.1 and scheduled job processing is actively configured, leading to uncontrolled memory growth that can cause service unavailability.
