CVE-2020-23284
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 · uneditedInformation disclosure in aspx pages in MV's IDCE application v1.0 allows an attacker to copy and paste aspx pages in the end of the URL application that connect into the database which reveals internal and sensitive information without logging into the web application.
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 confidenceThe IDCE application v1.0 allows unauthenticated access to certain aspx pages that connect to the database. By directly accessing these pages via URL, an attacker can view sensitive internal information without any login credentials. This is a classic unauthenticated information disclosure via direct object reference or missing access controls on specific application endpoints.

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 Mv Idce versionLocate the application installation directory and check version information files (such as version.txt, assembly info, or the application itself) to confirm the installed version is exactly 1.0Affected if The installed version is Mv Idce v1.0
-
Enumerate aspx pages in the applicationList all .aspx files in the web application directory, particularly in folders that handle database connectivity, data display, or internal operationsAffected if Multiple aspx pages exist that connect to the database and handle sensitive data
-
Test unauthenticated access to aspx pagesAttempt to access the identified aspx pages directly via URL in a web browser without providing any login credentials or session tokenAffected if Pages load successfully and display content without requiring authentication
-
Check for sensitive information exposureReview the content returned from unauthenticated page access to identify if internal database information, records, or sensitive system data is displayedAffected if The pages expose sensitive internal information such as database records, internal structures, or system details without authentication
You are affected if Mv Idce v1.0 is installed and any aspx pages that access the database are accessible without authentication, exposing sensitive internal information.

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 proper authentication and authorization checks on all aspx pages that access database content, or restrict direct URL access to sensitive pages. Remove or disable any pages that should not be accessible without authentication.
