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
Authentication bypass vulnerability in NEXT ENGINE Integration Plugin (for EC-CUBE 2.0 series) all versions allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to alter the information stored in the system.

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

The NEXT ENGINE Integration Plugin for EC-CUBE 2.0 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability that allows remote unauthenticated attackers to bypass authentication mechanisms and modify system data. The vulnerability stems from improper validation of authentication credentials or session state in the plugin's integration functionality.

MitigationApply the vendor-provided patch or update to the latest version of the NEXT ENGINE Integration Plugin that addresses the authentication bypass; if no patch exists, implement additional authentication checks and validate all user sessions before allowing data modifications.

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 NEXT ENGINE Integration Plugin presence
    Locate and list installed plugins in the EC-CUBE 2.0 environment, specifically checking for the NEXT ENGINE Integration Plugin in the plugin directory or administration panel
    Affected if The NEXT ENGINE Integration Plugin is installed and active in the EC-CUBE 2.0 system
  2. Identify plugin version
    Check the plugin's version information through the EC-CUBE admin interface plugin management section, or inspect the plugin's metadata file if accessible
    Affected if Any version of the NEXT ENGINE Integration Plugin is installed, as all versions are affected according to the advisory
  3. Verify integration module is enabled
    Access the plugin configuration or integration settings within the EC-CUBE administration panel and confirm whether the Next Engine integration functionality is active and connected
    Affected if The Next Engine integration feature is enabled and configured to communicate with the Next Engine service
  4. Inspect authentication handling
    Review the plugin's source code files, particularly those handling user authentication or session validation for the integration endpoints
    Affected if The plugin processes authentication credentials for integration features without proper validation checks
  5. Test unauthenticated access to integration endpoints
    Attempt to access Next Engine integration-related URLs or API endpoints within the EC-CUBE installation without providing valid authentication credentials
    Affected if Integration data modification requests succeed without authentication being validated
  6. Check for vendor patch status
    Review release notes, changelogs, or security advisories from the plugin vendor for mentions of CVE-2023-27919 or authentication bypass fixes
    Affected if No security patch addressing this CVE has been applied to the installed plugin version

If the NEXT ENGINE Integration Plugin is installed and its integration functionality is active without having applied a vendor security patch for CVE-2023-27919, the environment is affected by this authentication bypass vulnerability.
