CVE-2019-7848
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 · uneditedAdobe Campaign Classic version 18.10.5-8984 and earlier versions have an Inadequate access control vulnerability. Successful exploitation could lead to Information Disclosure in the context of the current user.
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 confidenceAdobe Campaign Classic versions 18.10.5-8984 and earlier contain an inadequate access control vulnerability that allows authenticated users to access information beyond their authorized scope. The vulnerability likely stems from improper validation of user permissions when accessing specific resources or data objects, potentially enabling unauthorized data exposure through direct object references or missing authorization checks.

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 the installed Adobe Campaign Classic versionLocate the version or build number of your Adobe Campaign Classic installation, typically found in the installation directory, the client console about dialog, or by querying the system information. Common locations include the build number file in the installation folder or the version displayed in the Adobe Campaign Client.Affected if The installed version is 18.10.5-8984 or earlier (any version up to and including this build number).
-
Verify if user roles and permissions are properly configuredAccess the Adobe Campaign Classic administration interface and review the role-based access control (RBAC) configuration. Check the defined roles, groups, and their assigned permissions, particularly for data access rights.Affected if Users have been granted permissions beyond their intended scope, or custom roles exist that may allow unauthorized access to data objects.
-
Audit data access paths and object referencesExamine the configuration for data schemas, queries, and workflows that access sensitive data. Look for direct object references or custom data access methods that may bypass standard authorization checks.Affected if Custom data access paths, dynamically constructed queries, or direct object references exist that do not validate user permissions.
-
Review API and web service access controlsInspect the configuration for exposed APIs, web services, or data export functionality. Check if proper authorization validation is enforced on all endpoints that provide access to data objects.Affected if API endpoints or web services allow authenticated users to retrieve data beyond their authorized permissions.
You are affected if your Adobe Campaign Classic installation is version 18.10.5-8984 or earlier, and either custom roles with excessive permissions exist, or data access paths lack proper authorization validation.

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 the vendor-supplied patch for Adobe Campaign Classic to the latest supported version and verify that role-based access controls are properly enforced for all data access paths.
