CVE-2024-36261
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 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 confidenceImproper access control in Intel(R) RAID Web Console software allows an authenticated user to potentially enable denial of service via adjacent network access. The vulnerability stems from insufficient validation of access permissions, permitting an authenticated attacker to trigger conditions that can cause service disruption.

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.
-
Confirm Intel RAID Web Console installationCheck if Intel RAID Web Console software is installed 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 /opt/intel/raidwebconsole or similar installation directories.Affected if The software is installed and running on the system
-
Identify network binding and exposureDetermine what network interfaces the RAID Web Console service is bound to. Check the service configuration or documentation to identify listening ports (typically 9443 or similar HTTPS ports). Use 'netstat -an | grep <port>' or equivalent to list listening addresses.Affected if The service is listening on interfaces accessible from adjacent networks rather than only localhost or management networks
-
Verify access control configurationReview user accounts and access permissions configured in the RAID Web Console. Check if anonymous or default authentication is enabled, and review the list of authorized users with their privilege levels.Affected if User authentication is enabled but access permissions are not properly restricted, or default/weak credentials may exist
-
Assess network accessibilityFrom a different host on the same network segment, attempt to reach the RAID Web Console management interface using the discovered port. Verify if the interface is accessible without VPN or jump host.Affected if The management interface is reachable from adjacent network segments without requiring VPN or dedicated management network access
-
Check for available patchesConsult Intel support channels, release notes, or security advisories for CVE-2024-36261 to determine if a patched version or firmware update has been released for the installed version.Affected if No vendor patch has been applied and the installed version remains unpatched
A defender is affected if Intel RAID Web Console is installed, running, and accessible from adjacent networks without having applied vendor-provided security updates for this improper access control 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 Intel-provided patches when available. Restrict network access to the RAID Web Console to trusted management networks and follow least-privilege principles for user accounts.
