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
A vulnerability in the Mitel 6800 Series, 6900 Series, and 6900w Series SIP Phones through 6.4 SP4 (R6.4.0.4006), and the 6970 Conference Unit through 6.4 SP4 (R6.4.0.4006) or version V1 R0.1.0, could allow an unauthenticated attacker to perform a file upload attack due to missing authentication mechanisms. A successful exploit could allow an attacker to upload arbitrary WAV files, which may potentially exhaust the phone’s storage without affecting the phone's availability or operation.

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

Mitel 6800/6900 Series SIP phones and 6970 Conference Units contain an unauthenticated file upload vulnerability in their web interface through version 6.4 SP4. An unauthenticated attacker can upload arbitrary WAV files to the device, potentially exhausting storage. The CVSS notes storage exhaustion does not affect phone availability or operation.

MitigationApply vendor-supplied firmware patches for 6.4 SP4; as a compensating control, restrict network access to phone management interfaces using firewall rules or VLAN segmentation.

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 the Mitel phone model
    Locate the model number on the physical device (typically on a label on the bottom or back) or check the device's web interface or admin panel for the model designation
    Affected if Model is NOT one of the 6800 Series, 6900 Series SIP phones, or 6970 Conference Units
  2. Determine the firmware version
    Access the phone's web interface or admin panel and navigate to the status or about section to view the installed firmware version, or use the phone's keypad menu system to find the software version
    Affected if Firmware version is 6.4 SP4 or lower (any version up to and including 6.4 SP4)
  3. Verify if the web interface is enabled and accessible
    Attempt to access the device's IP address via HTTP or HTTPS from a networked computer to confirm the web interface is running and responding
    Affected if The web interface is accessible and responds to requests

User is affected if they have a Mitel 6800/6900 Series SIP phone or 6970 Conference Unit running firmware version 6.4 SP4 or lower with the web interface accessible on the network.
