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.
-
Verify Dell Alienware Command Center is installedCheck for the application in Windows Programs and Features, or search for the executable AWCC.exe in Program Files (typically under C:\Program Files\Dell\Alienware Command Center\)Affected if The application is present on the system
-
Retrieve the installed version numberRight-click the application in Programs and Features and select Properties, or right-click AWCC.exe and select Properties to view the File Version. Alternatively, open PowerShell and run: Get-ItemProperty 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\*' | Where-Object {$_.DisplayName -like '*Alienware Command Center*'} | Select-Object DisplayName, DisplayVersionAffected if A version number is returned by these queries
-
Compare installed version against vulnerable rangeIf the installed version is 6.0.0.0 through 6.7.36.0 (inclusive), the system is vulnerable. Version 6.7.37.0 and later are patched. Ensure you compare the full version string (for example, 6.5.2.0 falls within the affected range)Affected if The installed version is 6.0.0.0 or higher but lower than 6.7.37.0
A system is affected if Dell Alienware Command Center version 6.0.0.0 through 6.7.36.0 is installed, as this version range contains the improper access control flaw that allows privilege escalation.
