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
CodeChecker is an analyzer tooling, defect database and viewer extension for the Clang Static Analyzer and Clang Tidy. Authentication bypass occurs when the API URL ends with Authentication. This bypass allows superuser access to all API endpoints other than Authentication. These endpoints include the ability to add, edit, and remove products, among others. All endpoints, apart from the /Authentication is affected by the vulnerability. This issue affects CodeChecker: through 6.24.1.

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

CodeChecker versions through 6.24.1 contain an authentication bypass vulnerability where requests to API URLs ending with 'Authentication' bypass the authentication mechanism entirely. This allows unauthenticated attackers to gain superuser access to all other API endpoints, enabling them to add, edit, and remove products and perform other privileged operations.

MitigationUpgrade CodeChecker to version 6.24.2 or later. Until then, restrict network access to the CodeChecker API and implement additional authentication layer at the infrastructure level (e.g., API gateway with forced authentication).

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. Identify CodeChecker installation and version
    Run 'codechecker --version' or check the installed package version via pip list or system package manager
    Affected if The installed version is lower than 6.24.2 (e.g., 6.24.1, 6.24.0, etc.)
  2. Determine if CodeChecker web/API server is running
    Check for running processes: 'ps aux | grep codechecker' or check if ports (default 8001/8002) are listening via 'netstat -tlnp | grep -E "8001|8002"'
    Affected if The CodeChecker web server or API server process is actively running and listening on network ports
  3. Verify web interface is network-accessible
    Attempt to access the CodeChecker web interface from a non-localhost location, or review firewall/network configurations to confirm accessibility
    Affected if The API/web interface is accessible from non-trusted networks or untrusted users can reach the service
  4. Test for authentication bypass via URL manipulation
    Send a crafted request to any API endpoint (such as /products, /users, or /configurations) using a URL path that ends with 'Authentication' (e.g., /products/Authentication or /api/config/Authentication)
    Affected if The request bypasses authentication and returns valid API data without providing credentials or a valid session token
  5. Confirm superuser access via bypass
    Attempt privileged operations such as adding, modifying, or deleting products/users through the bypassed endpoint using a tool like curl or the API without authentication
    Affected if Unauthenticated requests through the manipulated URL path succeed in performing administrative operations

You are affected if running CodeChecker version 6.24.1 or earlier AND the CodeChecker web/API server is network-accessible, allowing URL-based authentication bypass to grant unauthorized superuser access.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 6.24.2 or later
Fixed in 6.24.2
Interim mitigation

Upgrade CodeChecker to version 6.24.2 or later. Until then, restrict network access to the CodeChecker API and implement additional authentication layer at the infrastructure level (e.g., API gateway with forced authentication).

Recommended fix High confidence

6.24.2

  1. Check the currently installed CodeChecker version using 'CodeChecker version' or your package manager
  2. Backup your CodeChecker database and configuration files before upgrading
  3. Upgrade CodeChecker to version 6.24.2 or later using your package manager or build system (e.g., pip install --upgrade codechecker for pip-based installs, or pull the latest release from the GitHub repository)
  4. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the version number
  5. Restart any CodeChecker services to ensure the new version is loaded
  6. Test that authentication is properly enforced on API endpoints
