CVE-2019-25235
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 · uneditedSmartwares HOME easy 1.0.9 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to access administrative web pages by disabling JavaScript. Attackers can navigate to multiple administrative endpoints and to bypass client-side validation and access sensitive system information.
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 confidenceSmartwares HOME easy 1.0.9 relies on client-side JavaScript for authentication and access control, allowing attackers to bypass security controls by simply disabling JavaScript in their browser. This enables unauthenticated access to administrative endpoints and exposes sensitive system information.

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 Smartwares HOME easy installation and versionLocate the application on your system or check the web interface header/version information for 'Smartwares HOME easy' and note the version numberAffected if The installed version is 1.0.9 or if the version cannot be determined but the product is Smartwares HOME easy
-
Test authentication bypass with JavaScript disabledAccess the web application URL in a browser, then disable JavaScript in browser settings or use a browser extension to block JavaScript, and attempt to navigate directly to administrative endpoints (such as /admin, /settings, or similar paths)Affected if Administrative pages or sensitive functions are accessible without any login prompt when JavaScript is disabled
-
Verify server-side authentication existsInspect HTTP responses and application network traffic using browser developer tools or a proxy. Submit a login request and examine whether the server returns session tokens, cookies, or authorization headers independent of JavaScript executionAffected if No server-side session or authorization tokens are returned, and authentication appears to depend solely on JavaScript code running in the client browser
You are affected if Smartwares HOME easy version 1.0.9 is running and administrative functions remain accessible when JavaScript is disabled in the browser.

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 dataImplement server-side authentication and authorization checks for all administrative functions; never rely on client-side JavaScript for security controls.
