Resolution

For releases 5.3.1.0 and above, hotfixes are now listed in the system details via the CLI under "system".

Note that this does not apply to toolkit/plugin hotfixes. 

Also note that after applying a Masking Engine hotfix, that a management stack restart is required in order to register that the hotfix has been installed. This can be accomplished through the CLI by following the How To Restart The Delphix Engine Management Process document.
