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
RevoWorks Cloud Client 3.0.91 and earlier contains an incorrect authorization vulnerability. If this vulnerability is exploited, unintended processes may be executed in the sandbox environment. Even if malware is executed in the sandbox environment, it does not compromise the client's local environment. However, information in the sandbox environment may be disclosed to outside or behaviors of the sandbox environment may be violated by tampering registry.

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 confidence

RevoWorks Cloud Client 3.0.91 and earlier contains an incorrect authorization vulnerability that allows unintended processes to execute within the sandbox environment. While the sandbox isolates the local client from direct compromise, the flaw enables information disclosure from the sandboxed environment and allows tampering with sandbox behavior via registry modifications.

MitigationUpdate to a version beyond 3.0.91 that includes proper authorization checks before process execution within the sandbox environment. If no update is available, restrict user privileges and monitor sandbox registry keys for unauthorized changes.

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 RevoWorks Cloud Client installation
    Locate the RevoWorks Cloud Client installation directory (typically under Program Files or Program Files x86) and check the executable version property, or use system inventory tools that list installed software
    Affected if The software is installed and version is 3.0.91 or earlier
  2. Compare installed version to affected range
    Obtain the exact version number from the installed software and compare against 3.0.91 - versions 3.0.91 and earlier are within the affected range
    Affected if Installed version is 3.0.91 or any earlier version number
  3. Determine if sandbox functionality is in use
    Review whether the RevoWorks Cloud Client sandbox feature is actively used or configured in the environment - check for any sandbox-related configurations, sessions, or active virtualized instances
    Affected if The sandbox feature is actively used or configured, as the vulnerability only affects sandboxed process execution
  4. Inspect sandbox-related registry keys for unauthorized changes
    Examine registry locations where RevoWorks Cloud Client stores sandbox configuration settings (typically under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE or HKEY_CURRENT_USER in software-specific paths) for any unexpected modifications or unauthorized entries
    Affected if Registry keys show modifications that were not initiated by legitimate administrators or the software's normal operation

A system is affected if RevoWorks Cloud Client version 3.0.91 or earlier is installed and the sandbox feature is being used, with registry changes indicating potential exploitation of the authorization flaw.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Update to a version beyond 3.0.91 that includes proper authorization checks before process execution within the sandbox environment. If no update is available, restrict user privileges and monitor sandbox registry keys for unauthorized changes.
