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
Zohocorp's ManageEngine Analytics Plus and Zoho Analytics on-premise versions older than 6130 are vulnerable to an AD only account takeover because of a hardcoded sensitive token.

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

ManageEngine Analytics Plus and Zoho Analytics on-premise versions before 6130 contain a hardcoded sensitive token that allows attackers to perform Active Directory account takeover. The vulnerability stems from a default credentials-like token embedded in the software that can be exploited to hijack AD-authenticated user accounts.

MitigationUpgrade to version 6130 or later and rotate any credentials or tokens that may have been exposed. Verify AD integration is functioning correctly post-upgrade and review audit logs for signs of exploitation.

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 the installed version
    Locate the version number in the product's About or System Information page, or check the installation directory for a version file. Common paths include the product's admin console or configuration files in the installation folder.
    Affected if The installed version is ManageEngine Analytics Plus or Zoho Analytics on-premise and is lower than 6130.
  2. Confirm the exact build or patch version
    Access the product's administrator interface and navigate to the Support or About section to retrieve the full version string including build number.
    Affected if The version/build number is below 6130 (for example, 6120, 6100, or any version preceding 6130).
  3. Verify Active Directory integration status
    Check the product's authentication settings or AD integration configuration panel to determine whether Active Directory or LDAP authentication is enabled.
    Affected if Active Directory integration is enabled and the product version is below 6130, making the hardcoded token applicable to hijack AD-authenticated accounts.
  4. Review recent AD authentication events
    Examine authentication and audit logs within the product for unexpected account activity, particularly successful logins using accounts or methods that were not explicitly configured.
    Affected if Unusual AD account activity is found in logs and the product version is below 6130.

You are affected if ManageEngine Analytics Plus or Zoho Analytics on-premise is installed with a version lower than 6130 and Active Directory integration is enabled.
