CVE-2015-8485
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 · uneditedCybozu Office 9.9.0 through 10.3.0 allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended access restrictions and read arbitrary posting titles via unspecified vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-8484, CVE-2015-8486, and CVE-2016-1152.
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 · moderate confidenceCybozu Office 9.9.0 through 10.3.0 contains an access control bypass vulnerability where remote authenticated users can read arbitrary posting titles beyond their intended permissions. This is an information disclosure issue stemming from insufficient validation of user permissions when accessing posting content.

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.
-
Identify Cybozu Office installationCheck for Cybozu Office processes or web services running on the server, typically on ports 80/443 or configured web server portsAffected if Cybozu Office is installed and running
-
Determine installed Cybozu Office versionAccess the Cybozu Office administrator interface or check version information files in the installation directory (typically found in system settings or about page)Affected if The version cannot be determined or is in the 9.9.0 through 10.3.0 range
-
Compare version to affected rangeCompare your installed version against the affected list: 9.9.0, 10.0.0, 10.0.1, 10.0.2, 10.1.0, 10.1.2, 10.2.0, 10.3.0Affected if Your installed version matches any of these versions exactly
-
Verify user authentication is enabledCheck if Cybozu Office user authentication is active and users can log in to the systemAffected if User authentication is enabled and users have access to posting features
You are affected if Cybozu Office is running with a version matching 9.9.0 through 10.3.0 and user authentication is enabled, allowing authenticated users to potentially access posting titles beyond their permissions.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataApply vendor patches or upgrade to a patched version of Cybozu Office beyond 10.3.0. Verify that access control checks are properly enforced for all posting title resources regardless of user authentication state.
