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
Newforma Info Exchange (NIX) '/NPCSRemoteWeb/LegacyIntegrationServices.asmx' allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to cause NIX to make an SMB connection to an attacker-controlled system. The attacker can capture the NTLMv2 hash of the user-configured NIX service account.

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

The LegacyIntegrationServices.asmx endpoint in Newforma Info Exchange (NIX) is vulnerable to NTLM relay attacks. An unauthenticated remote attacker can trigger the NIX service to initiate an SMB connection to an attacker-controlled server, allowing capture of the NTLMv2 hash of the NIX service account. This is a classic SMB/NTLM relay vulnerability where the application's lack of proper SMB connection validation enables credential harvesting.

MitigationRestrict outbound SMB traffic (ports 445/139) from the NIX server to untrusted networks using host-based firewalls or network segmentation. Apply vendor-supplied patches when available and consider disabling NTLM authentication in favor of Kerberos with SMB signing enabled.

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 Newforma Project Center version
    Check the installed version of Newforma Project Center in Windows Programs and Features or by querying the application executable version. Compare against the affected range: versions prior to 2023.2 are vulnerable.
    Affected if Installed version is Newforma Project Center and is earlier than version 2023.2
  2. Verify LegacyIntegrationServices.asmx exists
    Check if the file LegacyIntegrationServices.asmx exists in the NIX web services directory. The default path is typically under the NIX installation folder, but verify its presence on the server.
    Affected if The LegacyIntegrationServices.asmx endpoint is present on the server in an accessible web directory
  3. Confirm NTLM authentication is enabled
    Review the NIX service or IIS configuration to determine whether NTLM authentication is permitted for the web service endpoint. Check authentication settings in the web.config file or IIS authentication modules.
    Affected if NTLM authentication is enabled or allowed for the LegacyIntegrationServices.asmx endpoint
  4. Check NIX service account configuration
    Identify the service account running the NIX (Newforma Info Exchange) service. Determine if it has privileges that would make its NTLMv2 hash valuable to an attacker.
    Affected if The NIX service runs under a domain or privileged account rather than a low-privilege service account
  5. Inspect outbound SMB connectivity restrictions
    Review host-based firewall rules or network filtering to determine if the NIX server is permitted to initiate outbound SMB connections (ports 445/139) to arbitrary destinations.
    Affected if No firewall or network segmentation is in place to restrict outbound SMB traffic from the NIX server

The environment is affected if Newforma Project Center version is earlier than 2023.2, the LegacyIntegrationServices.asmx endpoint exists, NTLM authentication is enabled, and outbound SMB connections are not restricted.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.

dbcve · scoped
Upgrade available Upgrade to 2023.2 or later
Fixed in 2023.2
Interim mitigation

Restrict outbound SMB traffic (ports 445/139) from the NIX server to untrusted networks using host-based firewalls or network segmentation. Apply vendor-supplied patches when available and consider disabling NTLM authentication in favor of Kerberos with SMB signing enabled.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Project Center 2023.2 or later

  1. 1. Verify current Project Center version by checking the application's 'About' or version information
  2. 2. Download Project Center version 2023.2 or later from the official Newforma distribution source
  3. 3. Create a full backup of the current Project Center database and configuration files
  4. 4. Test the upgrade in a non-production environment before deploying to production
  5. 5. Apply the upgrade following Newforma's standard installation documentation
  6. 6. Verify the '/NPCSRemoteWeb/LegacyIntegrationServices.asmx' endpoint is properly secured after upgrade
  7. 7. Confirm the NIX service account can authenticate correctly post-upgrade
