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 the installed version of ZAYTECH Smart Online Order For CloverAccess the Clover admin interface or check the plugin/app manifest file to locate the version number. In most Clover integrations, you can find this in the apps section under 'Installed Apps' or within the application configuration panel.Affected if The version listed is 1.5.6 or lower (any version through 1.5.6 is affected)
-
