CVE-2023-1144
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 · uneditedDelta Electronics InfraSuite Device Master versions prior to 1.0.5 contains an improper access control vulnerability in which an attacker can use the Device-Gateway service and bypass authorization, which could result in privilege escalation.
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 · high confidenceDelta Electronics InfraSuite Device Master versions prior to 1.0.5 contain an improper access control vulnerability in the Device-Gateway service. Attackers can bypass authorization checks in this service component, allowing them to escalate privileges from a lower privileged account to higher-level administrative 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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm InfraSuite Device Master installationIdentify if Delta Electronics InfraSuite Device Master is installed in your environment by checking for the product's software components, services, or installed applications.Affected if The product is installed and the version is prior to 1.0.5
-
Determine installed versionLocate and read the version information for the InfraSuite Device Master installation, typically found in the application itself, installed files, or system registry/configuration.Affected if The installed version is lower than 1.0.5 (for example, 1.0.4, 1.0.3, or earlier)
-
Verify Device-Gateway service presenceCheck if the Device-Gateway service component is present and running as part of the InfraSuite Device Master installation.Affected if The Device-Gateway service is installed and operational in your environment
-
Review Device-Gateway access controlsExamine the authorization configuration and access control settings for the Device-Gateway service component to identify whether privilege escalation from lower-privileged accounts is possible.Affected if Lower-privileged user accounts can potentially gain higher-level administrative access through the Device-Gateway service
Your environment is affected if Delta Electronics InfraSuite Device Master is installed with a version prior to 1.0.5 and the Device-Gateway service component is present and accessible.

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.
dbcve · scoped1.0.5
Upgrade Delta Electronics InfraSuite Device Master to version 1.0.5 or later to obtain the fixed code. Prior to upgrade, restrict network access to the Device-Gateway service to trusted IPs only and review user access controls.
1.0.5
- Upgrade Delta Electronics InfraSuite Device Master to version 1.0.5 or later to address the improper access control vulnerability in the Device-Gateway service.
- Verify the upgrade by checking the product version after installation.
- Test that the Device-Gateway service functions correctly after the upgrade.
- Review access controls to confirm the privilege escalation vulnerability is remediated.
