CVE-2023-5500
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 · uneditedThis vulnerability allows an remote attacker with low privileges to misuse Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') to gain full control of the affected device.
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 · moderate confidenceA code injection vulnerability exists where an authenticated attacker with low privileges can inject malicious code through improper control of code generation. This allows the attacker to execute arbitrary code and gain full control of the affected device.
Verify against the referenced sources before acting — the references below are authoritative for this CVE, this summary is not.

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 the installed product and versionLocate the Frauscher Diagnostic System 102 installation and retrieve its version information through the system's about panel, startup logs, or version command provided by the software.Affected if The installed version is 2.10.0, 2.10.1, or any version >= 2.10.0 and < 2.10.2
-
Confirm low-privilege user accounts existReview user management settings or user directory within the FDS application to identify accounts with low or limited privilege levels.Affected if There are authenticated users with low privileges configured in the system
-
Verify code generation feature accessibilityCheck if low-privilege users have access to code generation, scripting, or dynamic code execution features within the FDS interface.Affected if Low-privilege users can access or trigger code generation functionality
-
Audit user permission configurationsExamine the permission matrix or access control list for the FDS application to determine which user roles can invoke code generation or similar functions.Affected if Low-privilege roles are granted permissions that allow code generation or dynamic execution
The environment is affected if FDS version is >= 2.10.0 and < 2.10.2 AND low-privilege authenticated users can access code generation features.

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 · scoped2.10.2
Apply vendor-provided patches immediately. Until patches are available, restrict low-privilege user permissions to the minimum required and monitor for suspicious code execution patterns.
2.10.2
- Confirm the currently installed version of Frauscher Diagnostic System 102
- If the installed version is >= 2.10.0 and < 2.10.2, plan for upgrade
- Obtain Frauscher Diagnostic System 102 version 2.10.2 or later from the vendor
- Follow vendor-provided procedures to backup current configuration
- Apply the version 2.10.2 update to the affected device
- Verify the upgrade was successful and the device is operational
- Confirm the new version is 2.10.2 or later
