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 if Tanium end-user-cx component is presentCheck for the presence of the Tanium end-user-cx module or service in your Tanium deployment. This is typically managed through the Tanium console or by querying the Tanium server for installed modules.Affected if The component is not found or not installed, then this CVE does not apply to your environment.
-
Determine the installed version of end-user-cxUse the Tanium console or command-line interface to query the version of the end-user-cx component. Look for a version number in the format such as 1.4.x, 1.6.x, or 1.8.x.Affected if You cannot determine the version - further investigation may be required to confirm your exposure.
-
Compare version 1.4.x against affected rangeIf the installed version starts with 1.4, verify whether it is lower than 1.4.1175. Versions 1.4.1175 and above are not affected.Affected if The installed 1.4.x version is below 1.4.1175 - your environment is affected by this vulnerability.
-
Compare version 1.6.x against affected rangeIf the installed version starts with 1.6, verify whether it is lower than 1.6.926. Versions 1.6.926 and above are not affected.Affected if The installed 1.6.x version is below 1.6.926 - your environment is affected by this vulnerability.
-
Compare version 1.8.x against affected rangeIf the installed version starts with 1.8, verify whether it is lower than 1.8.21. Versions 1.8.21 and above are not affected.Affected if The installed 1.8.x version is below 1.8.21 - your environment is affected by this vulnerability.
Your environment is affected if the Tanium end-user-cx component is installed and its version falls within any of these ranges: 1.4.x below 1.4.1175, 1.6.x below 1.6.926, or 1.8.x below 1.8.21.

Apply the vendor patch or update to the Tanium end-user-cx component as provided by Tanium to remediate this vulnerability.
End User Cx 1.4.1175 (for 1.4.x branch), 1.6.926 (for 1.6.x branch), or 1.8.21 (for 1.8.x branch)
- Identify the currently installed End User Cx version using the Tanium console or command-line tools
- Determine which version branch (1.4.x, 1.6.x, or 1.8.x) is currently in use
- For systems running >= 1.4.x and < 1.4.1175: Upgrade to version 1.4.1175 or later
