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 ADAudit Plus installation and versionLocate the ADAudit Plus installation directory and find the version file or check the product's built-in about/version information page typically accessible through the product's admin console or service informationAffected if The installed version is 7.2 or any version prior to 7.2 (versions < 7.2 or = 7.2)
-
Verify file share audit feature statusCheck the ADAudit Plus configuration or console settings to determine whether the file share auditing module is enabled. This is typically found in the audit policy or feature settings within the product interfaceAffected if The file share auditing or file share addition functionality is enabled and accessible to users
-
Confirm product build numberAccess the product's version or build information (often displayed in the product header, about page, or service properties) and note the full build numberAffected if The build number is lower than 7271 (the fixed version)
-
Assess network accessibility of the file share featureDetermine if the ADAudit Plus web interface or API endpoints for file share management are exposed and accessible from the networkAffected if The file share addition interface is network-accessible without additional authentication barriers beyond standard login
The environment is affected if ADAudit Plus is installed at version 7.2 or any version prior to 7.2 (versions < 7.2 or = 7.2) and the file share audit functionality is enabled and accessible.
