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 · unedited
Dell EMC Streaming Data Platform versions before 1.3 contain an Indirect Object Reference Vulnerability. A remote malicious user may potentially exploit this vulnerability to gain sensitive 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 confidence

Dell EMC Streaming Data Platform versions before 1.3 contain an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability. The vulnerability allows remote authenticated or unauthenticated attackers to access sensitive information by manipulating object references (such as IDs or parameters) in API requests, due to insufficient server-side authorization validation on certain data access endpoints.

MitigationApply Dell EMC patch version 1.3 or later to remediate the IDOR vulnerability. Additionally, conduct access control review to ensure all endpoints enforce proper authorization checks before returning data objects.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify the installed Dell EMC Streaming Data Platform version
    Locate the version information through the product's administrative interface, about page, or system configuration files. Consult the product documentation for the specific method to retrieve version details in your deployment.
    Affected if The installed version cannot be confirmed as 1.3 or later, or the version is unknown.
  2. Compare the installed version against the vulnerable range
    Document the exact version number found in step 1 and verify whether it falls below 1.3 (for example, 1.2.x, 1.1.x, 1.0.x).
    Affected if The installed version is any release prior to 1.3.
  3. Assess API endpoint accessibility
    If the version is confirmed below 1.3, review whether data access API endpoints are reachable from the network and could accept object reference parameters (such as IDs in URLs or request bodies). Determine if unauthenticated or authenticated access to these endpoints is possible.
    Affected if API endpoints accepting object references are exposed and the version is below 1.3.
  4. Review server-side authorization controls on data endpoints
    Examine the configuration or code for data access endpoints to verify whether server-side authorization validation is performed before returning data objects. Check if object references can be manipulated without proper authorization checks.
    Affected if Server-side authorization validation is missing or insufficient on data access endpoints, and the product version is below 1.3.

A user is affected if their Dell EMC Streaming Data Platform installation is version 1.2 or earlier and has data access API endpoints that lack proper server-side authorization validation.
