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
Browse restriction bypass and operation restriction bypass vulnerability in Cabinet of Cybozu Garoon 4.0.0 to 5.5.1 allows a remote authenticated attacker to alter and/or obtain the data of Cabinet.

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 · high confidence

This is an authorization bypass vulnerability in Cybozu Garoon's Cabinet (file management) component. A remote authenticated attacker can bypass both browse restrictions (viewing unauthorized files) and operation restrictions (performing unauthorized actions) on Cabinet data, enabling unauthorized access to and/or modification of files they should not have permission to access.

MitigationUpgrade Cybozu Garoon to version 5.5.2 or later to obtain the patch for this vulnerability. If immediate patching is not possible, review user access controls and monitor Cabinet activity for unauthorized access patterns.

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. Confirm Cybozu Garoon installation
    Identify whether Cybozu Garoon is deployed in your environment. This is typically a Japanese enterprise groupware/collaboration platform.
    Affected if Cybozu Garoon is installed and accessible to users
  2. Determine installed Garoon version
    Access the Garoon system administration panel or check system files to identify the exact version number installed. Compare the version against the affected range: 4.0.0 through 5.5.1 inclusive.
    Affected if Installed version is 4.0.0, 4.0.1, 4.0.2, 4.0.3, 4.5.0, 4.5.1, 4.5.2, 4.5.3, 5.0.0, 5.0.1, 5.0.2, 5.0.3, 5.5.0, or 5.5.1
  3. Verify Cabinet module is in use
    Confirm that the Cabinet (file management) component is enabled and accessible to users in your Garoon deployment. This is the specific component where the authorization bypass occurs.
    Affected if Cabinet module is enabled and users have access to it
  4. Review Cabinet access logs for anomalies
    Examine Garoon Cabinet access logs for any unauthorized file access or operations performed by users who should not have permissions to those files or actions.
    Affected if Logs show users accessing or modifying files outside their assigned permissions

You are affected if Cybozu Garoon version 4.0.0 through 5.5.1 is installed and the Cabinet module is enabled and accessible to users.
