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. Confirm Thinfinity Workspace installation
    Check for Thinfinity Workspace installation by searching for the product in system programs, checking for the installation directory (commonly in Program Files\Cybele or similar), or querying for thinfinity-related services.
    Affected if Thinfinity Workspace is not installed on the system
  2. Identify installed version
    Locate the Thinfinity Workspace version information. This is typically accessible through the application itself (Help > About), the Windows Programs and Features list, or by examining version files in the installation directory.
    Affected if The installed version is lower than 7.0.3.109 (e.g., 7.0.3.x versions below 109, or any 6.x version)
  3. Check for secondary broker configuration
    Examine Thinfinity Workspace configuration files for secondary broker settings. Look in the installation directory for configuration files (often XML, JSON, or .ini files) that define broker relationships or remote broker connections.
    Affected if Secondary broker components are configured and accessible on the network
  4. Verify authorization configuration
    Review the authorization and authentication settings in the Thinfinity Workspace configuration files. Check for settings related to broker access control, session validation, or authorization policies.
    Affected if Authorization checks for broker access rely on insufficient validation (cannot determine definitively without the patch)
  5. Review access logs for suspicious broker requests
    Inspect Thinfinity Workspace logs for requests targeting secondary broker endpoints, especially those with unusual or crafted parameters that might indicate unauthorized access attempts.
    Affected if Log entries show unexpected secondary broker access from unauthorized sources

The environment is affected if Thinfinity Workspace version is lower than 7.0.3.109 AND secondary broker functionality is in use or exposed.
