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 ZXCLOUD iRAI installationLocate the ZXCLOUD iRAI installation directory or check the product's web interface for version information. Common locations include the product's admin panel, about page, or version configuration file.Affected if The installed version cannot be determined or is confirmed to be below 7.23.32
-
Verify installed version numberRetrieve the exact version number of the ZXCLOUD iRAI instance using the product's built-in version check command, configuration file, or management interface.Affected if The version is lower than 7.23.32 (for example, 7.23.30, 7.22.x, or earlier releases)
-
Confirm user authentication is enabledVerify that standard user accounts can authenticate to the ZXCLOUD iRAI system. Check user role configurations and confirm that non-privileged accounts have access to the platform.Affected if Standard user accounts exist and can log in to the system
-
Check service accessibilityConfirm the ZXCLOUD iRAI service is running and network-accessible. Test connectivity to the management interface or API endpoints.Affected if The service is exposed on the network and accepts user connections
The environment is affected if ZXCLOUD iRAI is running with a version lower than 7.23.32 and standard user accounts can access the system.
