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 Avaya IX Workforce Engagement is installedLocate the installation directory or check system inventory for Avaya IX Workforce Engagement software. Common paths may include C:\Program Files\Avaya\ or /opt/avaya/ on Linux systems.Affected if The product is present on the system
-
Verify the installed version is 15.2.7.1195Check the application's About page, version file, or use command-line tools such as 'wmic product get name,version' on Windows or check RPM/deb package details on Linux. Compare the version number to 15.2.7.1195.Affected if The installed version is exactly 15.2.7.1195
-
Determine if the web interface is accessibleCheck if the Avaya IX Workforce Engagement web portal is exposed on network ports (typically 80/443 or custom ports configured during installation). Review firewall rules and reverse proxy configurations.Affected if The web interface is accessible from the network
-
Inspect redirect URL handling configurationReview the web application's configuration files for redirect handling logic. Look for parameters that control URL redirection, such as 'redirectUrl', 'returnUrl', or 'next' parameters in configuration files under the web application directory.Affected if The application accepts and processes redirect parameters without strict allowlist validation
You are affected if Avaya IX Workforce Engagement version 15.2.7.1195 is installed with its web interface accessible and the application processes redirect parameters without proper allowlist validation.

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.
From vendor dataImplement strict allowlist-based validation for all redirect URLs, verifying that the target path is relative or points to an authorized domain before performing any redirection.
