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 Accessibility Suite installationCheck for Ability, Inc Accessibility Suite in installed programs (Windows: Programs and Features, Linux: dpkg -l or rpm -qa, or check common installation directories)Affected if The software is installed and running
-
Locate configuration filesSearch for accessibility suite configuration files, typically in installation directory or user config folders (e.g., %APPDATA%, %PROGRAMFILES%, or /etc/ability/)Affected if Configuration files exist with default or weak permissions
-
Inspect access control security level settingsOpen configuration files and locate security level, access control, or authorization settings (look for keywords like 'securitylevel', 'accesscontrol', 'authorization', 'privilege')Affected if Security level is set to a permissive mode (e.g., 'low', 'none', 'default') or access control is explicitly disabled
-
Verify authorization enforcementReview configuration for any 'authrequired', 'authorization', or 'accesscontrol' flags and check if they are set to false or disabledAffected if Authorization checks are disabled or set to false in the configuration
-
Check for missing role-based access controlsExamine if user roles, permissions, or group mappings are properly defined in configuration filesAffected if No role definitions exist or roles are configured with overly broad permissions
A user is affected if Ability, Inc Accessibility Suite is installed and access control security levels are configured to a permissive, disabled, or improperly set state that allows privilege escalation.
