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 TeamViewer DEX Client installationCheck for the presence of TeamViewer DEX Client (also known as 1E Client) on the Windows system. Look in Program Files or Program Files (x86) for a 'TeamViewer' or '1E' folder, or check the list of installed programs in Control Panel > Programs and Features.Affected if The TeamViewer DEX Client (1E Client) is installed on the system
-
Determine installed versionLocate the version information for the TeamViewer DEX Client. Check the file properties of NomadBranch.exe (typically found in the TeamViewer/1E Client installation directory), or query the installed programs registry key for the version. Compare the version number to 25.11.Affected if The installed version is lower than 25.11 (e.g., 25.10, 25.9, etc.)
-
Confirm NomadBranch.exe presenceVerify that NomadBranch.exe (Content Distribution Service) exists in the TeamViewer DEX Client installation directory and is currently running as a service or process. Use Task Manager or command 'tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq NomadBranch.exe"' to check if the process is active.Affected if NomadBranch.exe is present and running on the system
-
Inspect Content Distribution Service configurationExamine the configuration files or registry settings associated with the Content Distribution Service (NomadBranch.exe) for any suspicious or unexpected internal IP address destinations configured for data transmission.Affected if The service configuration shows connections to unexpected or arbitrary internal IP addresses
The system is affected if TeamViewer DEX Client version is below 25.11 AND the NomadBranch.exe Content Distribution Service is running.
