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.
-
Locate Exchange Reporter Plus installationCheck common installation directories such as C:\Program Files\ManageEngine\Exchange Reporter Plus or /opt/ManageEngine/Exchange Reporter Plus, or look for the service named 'Exchange Reporter Plus' in Windows services or process list in Linux.Affected if The product is not installed or cannot be located.
-
Determine installed version and build numberLook for a version.txt, build.info, or similar file in the installation directory, or access the admin console and check the About/Version section typically found at /home or /about.do. Note both the version number (e.g., 5.7) and build number (e.g., 5718).Affected if The installed version is 5.7 or the build number is 5718 or lower.
-
Verify reports module is accessibleLog into the Exchange Reporter Plus admin console and navigate to the Reports section. The vulnerability exists in the reports module functionality, so this module must be present and accessible.Affected if The reports module is not present or not accessible to the authenticated user.
-
Confirm authenticated access existsVerify that valid credentials exist for the application. This is an authenticated SQL injection, meaning a valid user account with access to the reports module is required for exploitation.Affected if No valid user account exists or all accounts lack access to the reports module.
A user is affected if Exchange Reporter Plus is installed with version 5.7 or build 5718 or lower, the reports module is accessible, and a valid authenticated session to the reports module can be obtained.
