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
Incorrect access permission of a specific service issue exists in RemoteView Agent (for Windows) versions prior to v8.1.5.2. If this vulnerability is exploited, a non-administrative user on the remote PC may execute an arbitrary OS command with LocalSystem privilege.

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 · high confidence

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 RemoteView Agent for Windows is installed
    Check for RemoteView installation by searching for the product in Windows Registry under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall or by locating RemoteView executable files in Program Files directories
    Affected if RemoteView Agent for Windows is found on the system
  2. Determine installed RemoteView Agent version
    Locate the RemoteView Agent executable (commonly rvagent.exe or similar) and check its file properties, or query the Windows Registry for the installed version under the RemoteView uninstall entry
    Affected if The installed version is prior to v8.1.5.2 (e.g., v8.1.5.1, v8.1.4.x, or earlier)
  3. Identify the RemoteView service
    Open Services console (services.msc) and locate services with 'RemoteView' in the name or description, or use command: sc queryex type= service state= all to enumerate all services and filter for RemoteView-related entries
    Affected if A RemoteView service is found running on the system
  4. Verify service executable path and permissions
    Run 'sc qc <servicename>' to query the service configuration and note the binary path, then run 'sc sdshow <servicename>' to view the Security Descriptor (DACL) and check if the service allows write access for non-admin users
    Affected if The service DACL grants write or change permissions to non-privileged users (such as the Users group), enabling them to modify the service configuration or binary path

A user is affected if RemoteView Agent for Windows is installed with a version prior to v8.1.5.2 and the RemoteView service grants write access to non-administrative accounts.
