CVE-2023-3655
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 · uneditedcashIT! - serving solutions. Devices from "PoS/ Dienstleistung, Entwicklung & Vertrieb GmbH" to 03.A06rks 2023.02.37 are affected by a dangerous methods, that allows to leak the database (system settings, user accounts,...). This vulnerability can be triggered by an HTTP endpoint exposed to the network.
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 cashIT! point-of-sale software exposes an HTTP endpoint that allows unauthenticated attackers to leak database contents including system settings and user accounts. The 'dangerous methods' likely refer to insecure direct object references or exposed database query functionality accessible via the web interface.

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 cashIT! installation and versionLocate the cashIT! installation directory and check for version information in application metadata, configuration files, or the software's built-in about/identification screen. Common locations include installation folders, registry entries (Windows), or service information.Affected if The installed version is Cashit Cashit! at or below 03.a06rks_2023.02.37
-
Verify HTTP web interface is enabledCheck if the cashIT! web service or HTTP endpoint is running. This can be done by reviewing running services, checking for listeners on common HTTP ports (typically 80, 443, 8080), or examining the software's configuration files for web server settings.Affected if The HTTP web interface is active and listening for connections
-
Test unauthenticated endpoint accessibilityUsing a web browser or HTTP client (curl, wget), attempt to access the cashIT! HTTP endpoint directly without providing any authentication credentials. The specific endpoint path should be identified from application documentation or by enumerating common paths (/api, /db, /query, /data, /export).Affected if The endpoint responds with database contents, system settings, or user account information without requiring login credentials
-
Review access control configurationExamine cashIT! configuration files (typically in the installation directory or conf folder) for authentication settings, access control lists, or endpoint exposure rules. Look for settings that control whether authentication is required for database-related endpoints.Affected if Authentication is disabled or not enforced for database query/export functionality
A user is affected if they are running cashIT! version 03.a06rks_2023.02.37 or lower AND the HTTP web interface is exposed with the vulnerable endpoint accessible without authentication.

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 dataRestrict access to the affected HTTP endpoint by implementing proper authentication, authorization, and input validation. If the endpoint is not required for legitimate operations, disable it entirely. Consider network segmentation to prevent unauthorized access to management interfaces.
