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 Acronis Cyber Protect 15 installationVerify that Acronis Cyber Protect 15 is installed on the system by checking installed programs or using the product's version query mechanismAffected if Acronis Cyber Protect 15 is present on the system
-
Determine the installed build versionUse Acronis product information or system inventory tools to retrieve the exact build number of the installed Acronis Cyber Protect 15 instanceAffected if The build number cannot be determined or is below 35979
-
Compare build number against the thresholdCompare the retrieved build number to 35979 - the vulnerable threshold specified in the advisoryAffected if The build number is lower than 35979 (versions before this build are affected)
-
Identify log file locationsLocate log directories used by Acronis Cyber Protect 15 - check default installation paths or product documentation for log file locationsAffected if Log files exist on the system and the build is below 35979
The environment is affected if Acronis Cyber Protect 15 is installed with a build number lower than 35979, as these versions write sensitive information to log files before the fix.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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.
