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 OPEXUS eCASE Audit installationIdentify where eCASE Audit is deployed in your environment and verify the application is accessibleAffected if OPEXUS eCASE Audit is not installed, then not affected
-

-
Verify application authentication is enabledConfirm that user authentication is required to access eCASE Audit functionalityAffected if The application allows unauthenticated access to all features, then the specific authenticated attack vector may not apply
-
Check for presence of Project Cost moduleDetermine if the Project Cost tab feature is enabled and accessible within your eCASE Audit deploymentAffected if The Project Cost module with Estimated Staff Hours field exists and is accessible to authenticated users
Your environment is affected if OPEXUS eCASE Audit version is 11.4.0 or higher but lower than 11.14.2.0 and the Project Cost module with Estimated Staff Hours field is accessible to authenticated users.
