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 Passwordstate build versionLocate the Passwordstate build number in the application interface (typically in Help > About or system information) or check the application's version metadataAffected if The build number is below 9920 (for example, 9919 or earlier)
-
Verify edit folder functionality accessReview which user roles have permission to access the Edit Folder screen within Passwordstate. Check the folder permissions configuration panelAffected if Standard or low-privilege users have access to the edit folder screen when they should not based on their assigned role
-
Audit user role assignmentsReview the role-based access control (RBAC) configuration to identify which users are assigned to roles that permit folder editingAffected if Users without proper administrative authorization can modify folder settings that grant elevated privileges
-
Inspect privilege escalation pathwaysExamine the edit folder function to determine if folder permission modifications can grant users additional rights beyond their current role capabilitiesAffected if The edit folder feature allows assignment of permissions or roles that exceed the user's original access level
You are affected if Passwordstate is running a build version below 9920 AND standard users can access the edit folder screen to escalate their privileges.
