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 · unedited
Improper input validation in the Intel(R) Distribution of OpenVINO(TM) Model Server software before version 2024.0 may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable denial of service via adjacent access.

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 confidence

The Intel Distribution of OpenVINO Model Server contains an improper input validation vulnerability that allows an unauthenticated attacker with adjacent network access to potentially cause a denial of service. The vulnerability exists in versions prior to 2024.0 and stems from insufficient validation of input data, which could lead to service disruption.

MitigationUpgrade Intel Distribution of OpenVINO Model Server to version 2024.0 or later to address the improper input validation vulnerability.

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. Identify Intel Distribution of OpenVINO Model Server installation
    Locate the installation via package manager (pip show openvino-model-server), Docker image (docker images), or service process. Note the version reported.
    Affected if The installed version is any version prior to 2024.0 or the version cannot be determined but the product is present
  2. Confirm version against vulnerability threshold
    Compare the identified version string to 2024.0. Versions are typically formatted as year.month (e.g., 2023.3, 2022.3). Check if the numeric year-month value is less than 2024.0.
    Affected if Version is below 2024.0 (e.g., 2023.3, 2022.3, or any 202x.y version where x is less than 2024)
  3. Determine network exposure of the service
    Review network configuration to determine if the model server service is bound to network interfaces accessible from adjacent network segments. Check service configuration files, Docker port mappings (-p flags), or Kubernetes service definitions for exposure.
    Affected if The service is bound to a network interface accessible from adjacent networks (non-localhost bindings)
  4. Verify service is remotely accessible
    Test connectivity to the model server ports from a host on an adjacent network segment using tools like curl, telnet, or netcat. Confirm the service accepts requests without authentication.
    Affected if The service accepts unauthenticated requests from adjacent network hosts

You are affected if Intel Distribution of OpenVINO Model Server is installed at a version below 2024.0 and is accessible to unauthenticated users on adjacent networks.
