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
VINCE versions before 3.0.9 is vulnerable to exposure of User information to authenticated users.

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

VINCE before version 3.0.9 contains an access control vulnerability that allows authenticated users to view user information they should not have access to, resulting in unauthorized information disclosure.

MitigationUpgrade VINCE to version 3.0.9 or later to remediate this vulnerability.

Verify against the referenced sources before acting — the references below are authoritative for this CVE, this summary is not.

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 VINCE installation location
    Locate VINCE installation directory, typically found in /opt/vince, /usr/local/vince, or via package manager (rpm -qa | grep vince or dpkg -l | grep vince)
    Affected if VINCE is not found or not installed (not affected)
  2. Determine installed VINCE version
    Run command to check version: 'vinceversion' or check VERSION file in installation directory, or query database if accessible
    Affected if Version is less than 3.0.9 (vulnerable)
  3. Verify authentication is enabled
    Check if VINCE user authentication is configured and active by inspecting settings.py or auth configuration files in the VINCE installation
    Affected if Authentication is enabled and version is < 3.0.9 (affected - the flaw allows authenticated users to bypass access controls)
  4. Check user role configurations
    Review VINCE user role assignments and access control settings in the admin interface or configuration files
    Affected if Multiple user roles exist and version is < 3.0.9 (the vulnerability allows privilege escalation through role-based information disclosure)

If VINCE is installed and the version is below 3.0.9, the environment is affected by this access control bypass vulnerability that permits authenticated users to view unauthorized user information.

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 · scoped
Upgrade available Upgrade to 3.0.9 or later
Fixed in 3.0.9
Interim mitigation

Upgrade VINCE to version 3.0.9 or later to remediate this vulnerability.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

VINCE 3.0.9

  1. Identify the current VINCE installation version
  2. Upgrade VINCE to version 3.0.9 or later
  3. After upgrade, verify that user permissions are correctly configured and no longer exposing sensitive user information to unauthorized authenticated users
