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.
-
Confirm HikCentral Professional is installedLocate the HikCentral Professional installation directory or check system services for 'HikCentral Professional' running processesAffected if The software is present and running on the system
-
Identify the installed versionCheck the HikCentral Professional version through its About panel, installation directory metadata, or registry entries if applicableAffected if The version matches or falls within any affected version ranges published by Hikvision
-
Verify network exposureReview firewall rules, router configurations, and network access controls to determine if the HikCentral Professional management interface is accessible from untrusted networks or the internetAffected if The management interface is exposed to untrusted or public networks without VPN or IP restrictions
-
Review administrative accountsAudit the HikCentral Professional user management panel for any unexpected or unauthorized administrator accounts created recentlyAffected if New or unknown administrator accounts exist that were not created by authorized personnel
-
Examine authentication logsCheck HikCentral Professional authentication and audit logs for unusual login events, especially successful logins from unknown IP addresses or at unusual timesAffected if Successful logins occurred from unexpected IP addresses or outside normal administrative patterns without corresponding legitimate credentials
A user is affected if HikCentral Professional is running and either matches an affected version or is exposed to untrusted networks where unauthenticated attackers could exploit the authentication bypass
