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
An incorrect access control vulnerability in Rubrik CDM versions prior to 9.1.2-p1, 9.0.3-p6 and 8.1.3-p12, allows an attacker with network access to execute arbitrary code.

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 · high confidence

Rubrik CDM contains an incorrect access control vulnerability in versions prior to 9.1.2-p1, 9.0.3-p6, and 8.1.3-p12. An attacker with network access to the affected system can bypass access controls and execute arbitrary code, resulting in full system compromise.

MitigationUpgrade Rubrik CDM to version 9.1.2-p1, 9.0.3-p6, or 8.1.3-p12 or later. Restrict network access to management interfaces until patches are applied.

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 Rubrik CDM version via CLI
    Log into the Rubrik cluster via SSH as admin and run: `rubrik version` or `system info`
    Affected if The version displayed is less than 8.1.3, or is 8.1.3 without patch 12, or is between 9.0.0 and 9.0.3 without patch 6, or is between 9.1.0 and 9.1.2 without patch 1
  2. Check version via web UI
    Access the Rubrik CDM web UI, navigate to the cluster settings or about page, and locate the version information displayed there
    Affected if The displayed version falls within any of the vulnerable ranges listed in the CVE (see step 1)
  3. Verify patch level if version matches a vulnerable release
    If the base version is 8.1.3, 9.0.3, or 9.1.2, check whether the patch level is p12, p6, or p1 or higher respectively
    Affected if The patch level is below p12 for 8.1.3, below p6 for 9.0.3, or below p1 for 9.1.2
  4. Confirm network exposure of management interface
    Review firewall rules or network segmentation configuration to determine if the Rubrik management interface (typically ports 443, 22) is accessible from untrusted networks
    Affected if The management interface is exposed to the internet or untrusted internal networks without proper access restrictions

The environment is affected if the installed Rubrik CDM version is prior to 8.1.3-p12, 9.0.3-p6, or 9.1.2-p1 AND the management interface is network-accessible to an attacker.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 8.1.3 / 9.0.3 / 9.1.2 or later
Fixed in 8.1.39.0.39.1.2
Interim mitigation

Upgrade Rubrik CDM to version 9.1.2-p1, 9.0.3-p6, or 8.1.3-p12 or later. Restrict network access to management interfaces until patches are applied.

Recommended fix High confidence

Upgrade to 8.1.3-p12 (for 8.1.x branch), 9.0.3-p6 (for 9.0.x branch), or 9.1.2-p1 (for 9.1.x branch) - select the appropriate patch based on your current version branch

  1. 1. Identify the current Rubrik CDM version by accessing the Rubrik cluster UI or using the CLI command: rubrik cluster version
  2. 2. Determine which version branch is currently deployed (8.1.x, 9.0.x, or 9.1.x)
  3. 3. For clusters on version 8.1.x: Upgrade to version 8.1.3-p12 or later
  4. 4. For clusters on version 9.0.x: Upgrade to version 9.0.3-p6 or later
  5. 5. For clusters on version 9.1.x: Upgrade to version 9.1.2-p1 or later
  6. 6. Review the Rubrik upgrade documentation and release notes for any pre-upgrade requirements
  7. 7. Create a snapshot or backup of the current configuration
  8. 8. Schedule the upgrade during a planned maintenance window
Caveat Check Rubrik release notes for any compatibility considerations or known issues before upgrading; major version upgrades may have feature or API changes
