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
An RPC service, which is part of exos 9300, is reachable on port 4000, run by the process FSMobilePhoneInterface.exe. This service is used for interprocess communication between services and the Kaba exos 9300 GUI, containing status information about the Access Managers. Interacting with the service does not require any authentication. Therefore, it is possible to send arbitrary status information about door contacts etc. without prior authentication.

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

An unauthenticated RPC service (FSMobilePhoneInterface.exe) running on port 4000 in Kaba exos 9300 access control systems allows remote attackers to send arbitrary status information about door contacts and Access Managers without any authentication. This enables manipulation of access control system status data.

MitigationRestrict network access to port 4000 through firewall rules or network segmentation to prevent unauthorized access to the RPC service, limiting exposure to trusted internal systems only.

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 Kaba exos 9300 system
    Check system inventory or physically verify the access control hardware model is Kaba exos 9300
    Affected if The system is NOT a Kaba exos 9300 device - different models are not affected by this specific CVE
  2. Verify port 4000 is listening
    Run 'netstat -an | findstr :4000' or 'nmap -p 4000 <target>' to check if port 4000 is open and accepting connections
    Affected if Port 4000 is open and bound to a service - the RPC service is exposed
  3. Confirm FSMobilePhoneInterface.exe is running
    On the access control server, run 'tasklist | findstr FSMobilePhoneInterface' or check running services for FSMobilePhoneInterface
    Affected if The FSMobilePhoneInterface.exe process is running - the vulnerable component is active
  4. Test unauthenticated RPC access
    Attempt to connect to the RPC service on port 4000 using a tool like rpcclient or netcat: 'nc -nv <target> 4000' and send a raw RPC request without providing credentials
    Affected if Connection succeeds and returns door contact or Access Manager status data without authentication - the vulnerability is present and exploitable
  5. Review network exposure
    Check firewall rules or network segmentation: 'netsh advfirewall firewall show rule name=all' or review network ACLs to determine if port 4000 is accessible from untrusted networks
    Affected if Port 4000 is accessible from external or untrusted network segments - the system is at risk of remote exploitation

You are affected if you run a Kaba exos 9300 system with FSMobilePhoneInterface.exe listening on port 4000 and that port is accessible from any network where untrusted actors exist, because the service accepts unauthenticated status queries.

Mitigation

Restrict network access to port 4000 through firewall rules or network segmentation to prevent unauthorized access to the RPC service, limiting exposure to trusted internal systems only.
