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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm SolarWinds ARM installation
    Locate SolarWinds Access Rights Manager in the system installed programs list (Windows Add/Remove Programs or Linux package manager) or identify the ARM service running on the host
    Affected if SolarWinds Access Rights Manager is found installed on the system
  2. Determine installed version
    Retrieve the version number of the installed SolarWinds Access Rights Manager instance
