CVE-2012-4614
CWE-287Published: November 27, 2012· Updated: Jun 16, 2026
9.3
CVSS v3.1
Official Description
The default configuration of EMC Smarts Network Configuration Manager (NCM) before 9.1 does not require authentication for database access, which allows remote attackers to have an unspecified impact via a network session.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2012-4614 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-287): Authentication bypass vulnerabilities allow attackers to access protected resources without valid credentials.
