CVE-2023-45598
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 · uneditedA CWE-425 “Direct Request ('Forced Browsing')” vulnerability in the “measure” functionality of the web application allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to access confidential measure information. This issue affects: AiLux imx6 bundle below version imx6_1.0.7-2.
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 confidenceA CWE-425 Forced Browsing vulnerability in the AiLux imx6 bundle web application's 'measure' functionality allows unauthenticated remote attackers to directly access confidential measurement data without any authentication or authorization checks. The measure endpoint is accessible without requiring login credentials.

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 if AiLux imx6 web application is presentLocate the imx6 bundle installation by searching for web application directories or running services that match 'ailux', 'imx6', or the measure-related web endpoints on the server.Affected if The AiLux imx6 bundle web application is installed on the system.
-
Determine installed versionCheck the version of the imx6 bundle installation by inspecting version files, build metadata, or application banners. Compare the version number against the affected range: versions prior to 1.0.7-2 are vulnerable.Affected if The installed version is lower than 1.0.7-2.
-
Verify measure endpoint existsLocate the 'measure' functionality endpoint in the web application structure. This is typically exposed via a URL path containing '/measure' or similar measurement-related routing.Affected if The measure endpoint exists in the web application.
-
Test measure endpoint access without authenticationAttempt to access the measure endpoint directly via HTTP/HTTPS request without providing any login credentials, session cookies, or authentication tokens. Observe whether the endpoint returns measurement data without redirecting to a login page or returning an authentication error.Affected if The measure endpoint returns valid measurement data or exposes confidential information without requiring authentication.
A system is affected if it runs AiLux imx6 version lower than 1.0.7-2 AND the measure endpoint is accessible without any authentication, returning confidential data to unauthenticated users.

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 · scoped1.0.7-2
Implement proper authentication and session validation on the measure functionality endpoint, ensuring all requests require valid user authentication before returning confidential measurement data. Upgrade to imx6_1.0.7-2 or later.
imx6_1.0.7-2
- 1. Identify the current version of the AiLux imx6 bundle running on your system
- 2. Download the updated imx6 bundle version 1.0.7-2 or later from the official vendor source
- 3. Follow the vendor's documented upgrade procedure to apply the update
- 4. After upgrading, verify that the measure functionality now requires proper authentication
- 5. Test that unauthenticated requests to the measure functionality are denied
