CVE-2024-32940
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 · uneditedImproper access control in Intel(R) RAID Web Console software for all versions may allow an authenticated 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 confidenceIntel RAID Web Console software contains an improper access control vulnerability that allows an authenticated user to potentially trigger denial of service conditions via adjacent network access. The issue stems from insufficient restrictions on authenticated user actions that can degrade or disable the software's availability.

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.
-
Verify Intel RAID Web Console is installedCheck for the presence of Intel RAID Web Console software on the system. On Windows, look in Program Files for 'Intel RAID Web Console' or check Services for 'RAID Web Console' service. On Linux, check for rpm/deb packages containing 'raid-web-console' or look in /opt for Intel raid management tools.Affected if Intel RAID Web Console software is installed and running on the system
-
Confirm network accessibility of management interfaceCheck if the RAID Web Console management port (default TCP 9443 or similar) is listening on network interfaces. Use 'netstat -an | grep -E "(9443|9323)"' or 'Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 9443,9323' in PowerShell to identify listening ports. Verify which IP addresses the service binds to.Affected if The management interface is bound to non-localhost addresses and accessible from network segments beyond trusted administrative networks
-
Review authenticated user accountsAccess the RAID Web Console user management panel and enumerate all configured user accounts. Document users with elevated privileges versus standard read-only accounts. Check for any unexpected or unauthorized accounts.Affected if Multiple authenticated user accounts exist with varying privilege levels, or users with excessive permissions are present
-
Check user privilege restrictionsWithin the RAID Web Console administrative interface, review the permission configuration for each user account. Determine if authenticated users have restrictions on resource-intensive operations that could impact availability.Affected if Authenticated users have permissions that are not explicitly restricted to minimum necessary functions for their role
-
Audit network exposureDetermine the network topology around the system running RAID Web Console. Identify whether the management interface is accessible from adjacent network segments, VLANs, or dmz zones. Document IP ranges that can reach the management port.Affected if The management interface can be reached from network segments other than trusted administrative networks
If Intel RAID Web Console is installed, running, and accessible from the network with authenticated user accounts that lack strict privilege restrictions, the environment is likely affected by this vulnerability.

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.
From vendor dataApply the latest Intel RAID Web Console software update when available. In the interim, restrict network access to the management interface to trusted administrative segments and limit authenticated user privileges to minimum necessary functions.
