CVE-2022-36249
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 · uneditedShop Beat Solutions (Pty) LTD Shop Beat Media Player 2.5.95 up to 3.2.57 is vulnerable to Bypass 2FA via APIs. For Controlpanel Lite. "After login we are directly able to use the bearer token or jsession ID to access the apis instead of entering the 2FA code. Thus, leading to bypass of 2FA on API level.
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 confidenceShop Beat Media Player's Controlpanel Lite API fails to enforce two-factor authentication validation. After initial login, the bearer token or jsession ID can be used to directly access APIs without entering the 2FA code, allowing complete bypass of the two-factor authentication mechanism at the API level.

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.
-
Confirm Shop Beat Media Player is installedLocate the Shop Beat Media Player installation on your system. Check for the application directory or installed software listing that contains 'Shop Beat' or 'Shopbeat' in the name.Affected if The software is present on the system
-
Identify the installed versionAccess the application version information through the software's about page, installation directory metadata, or system registry entry for Shop Beat Media Player. Compare the version number against the affected range of >= 2.5.95 and < 3.2.57.Affected if The installed version falls within >= 2.5.95 and < 3.2.57
-
Verify two-factor authentication is enabledCheck the application configuration or security settings within Shop Beat Media Player to confirm whether 2FA has been enabled as a login requirement.Affected if 2FA is enabled in the application settings
-
Test API access without 2FA codeUsing valid authentication credentials (bearer token or jsession ID obtained from initial login), attempt to access API endpoints directly without providing a 2FA code. Compare behavior against expected 2FA enforcement.Affected if API requests succeed with valid session credentials alone, bypassing 2FA code requirement
You are affected if Shop Beat Media Player version is between 2.5.95 and 3.2.57 (inclusive of 2.5.95, exclusive of 3.2.57) and 2FA can be bypassed using only bearer token or jsession ID without providing a valid 2FA code.

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.
dbcve · scoped3.2.57
Implement proper 2FA validation checks on all API endpoints to ensure the 2FA code is verified before granting access, regardless of whether a valid bearer token or jsession ID is present in the request.
Shop Beat Media Player 3.2.57 or later
- Identify all deployments of Shop Beat Media Player in the environment
- Check the current version of each Shop Beat Media Player installation
- For instances with versions >= 2.5.95 and < 3.2.57, plan and schedule an upgrade
- Backup all configuration and data before upgrading
- Upgrade Shop Beat Media Player to version 3.2.57 or later following vendor documentation
- After upgrade, verify that 2FA is properly enforced on API endpoints
- Confirm that API access now correctly requires valid 2FA code in addition to bearer token or jsession ID
