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.
-
Identify installed version of Zephyr Project ManagerLocate the installed Zephyr Project Manager application and retrieve its version number. This is typically found in the application's 'About' section, the software manifest, or the installation directory metadata.Affected if The installed version is less than 3.3.99 (including any version up to 3.3.97).
-
Confirm the product variant is Zephyr OneVerify that the affected application is specifically Zephyr One Zephyr Project Manager, as this is the only product variant listed as affected by this CVE.Affected if The installed product is Zephyr One Zephyr Project Manager and the version is below 3.3.99.
-
Inspect role-based access control configurationAccess the application's administrative or settings panel to review the RBAC (role-based access control) configuration. Look for how user roles are defined and assigned.Affected if The application uses RBAC and the version is vulnerable, as the privilege escalation could exploit role validation flaws.
-
Review user account role assignmentsExamine the user accounts panel to list all users and their assigned roles. Check for any unexpected role assignments or privilege levels that may indicate exploitation.Affected if User accounts exist with elevated privileges that should not be accessible to their assigned role level.
You are affected if Zephyr One Zephyr Project Manager is installed with a version less than 3.3.99 and the application handles user authentication and role-based access.

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.
dbcve · scoped3.3.99
Upgrade Zephyr Project Manager to the latest version beyond 3.3.97 which should contain the privilege management fix; if no patch is available, review and harden the application's role-based access control (RBAC) implementation and authentication flows.
Zephyr Project Manager 3.3.99 or later
- 1. Backup your current Zephyr Project Manager installation and database before making any changes.
- 2. Download Zephyr Project Manager version 3.3.99 or later from the official vendor source.
- 3. Install the updated version following the vendor's standard upgrade procedure.
- 4. Verify the installation was successful and test that the privilege management functionality works correctly.
- 5. Confirm that users can no longer escalate privileges beyond their assigned roles.
