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 if Eliz Software Panel is installed
    Locate the Eliz Software Panel installation in your environment. This is typically a web application deployed on a web server. Check your web server's document root or application directory for files associated with 'Elizsoftware Panel' or 'Eliz Software Panel'.
    Affected if Eliz Software Panel is present in your environment
  2. Determine the installed version of Eliz Software Panel
    Check the application's version information. Common methods include: looking for a version file in the installation directory, checking the admin dashboard for version display, reviewing the application's configuration files, or accessing the application's 'About' or 'System Info' page if available.
    Affected if The version cannot be determined or is displayed as a version prior to 2.3.24
  3. Compare your version to the affected range
    Review the identified version number against the affected range: versions before v2.3.24. If you found a version number, verify whether it is less than 2.3.24.
    Affected if Your installed version is less than 2.3.24 (for example, 2.3.23, 2.3.20, 2.2.x, etc.)

You are affected if Eliz Software Panel is installed and the installed version is any version prior to 2.3.24.
