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.
-
Identify Genetec Security Center installationLook for Genetec Security Center in installed programs (Windows: Programs and Features, Linux: dpkg -l | grep -i genetec) or check for Security Center related services runningAffected if Genetec Security Center is present on the system
-
Determine Security Center versionOpen Security Center Config Tool, go to About section, or check the version from the installation directory (typically C:\Program Files\Genetec\Security Center\Version.txt)Affected if Version matches or falls within an affected range (if vendor specifies one)
-
Verify ALPR Manager role is enabledOpen Security Center Config Tool, navigate to Roles > ALPR Manager, or use the administration interface to check if the ALPR role is configured and activeAffected if ALPR Manager role is enabled and accessible
-
Check for unauthorized administrative accountsIn Security Center Config Tool, review Users and Roles > Administrators group for any unfamiliar accounts, or query the directory for accounts with Security Manager role added recentlyAffected if New or unknown accounts exist with administrative privileges
-
Audit ALPR Manager role assignmentsReview which users are assigned to the ALPR Manager role via Config Tool > Roles > ALPR Manager > Members, and compare against expected personnelAffected if Unexpected users or service accounts have ALPR Manager role membership
-
Review administrative activity logsCheck Security Center audit logs (Security Desk or Config Tool > Audit Trail) for suspicious events such as privilege escalation, role changes, or admin access from unusual sources/IPsAffected if Log entries show unauthorized privilege escalation or admin access attempts
A system is affected if Genetec Security Center is installed with the ALPR Manager role enabled and evidence exists of unauthorized administrative access or unusual role assignments.

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.
From vendor dataApply the vendor patch from Genetec once available; in the meantime, restrict network access to the Security Center ALPR Manager interface and monitor for suspicious administrative account activity.
