CVE-2024-11176
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 · uneditedImproper access control vulnerability in M-Files Aino in versions before 24.10 allowed an authenticated user to access object information via incorrect evaluation of effective permissions.
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 confidenceM-Files Aino versions before 24.10 contained an improper access control vulnerability where authenticated users could access object information beyond their intended permissions due to incorrect evaluation of effective permissions. This authorization bypass allows users to view information they should not have access to.

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 M-Files Aino installationCheck your system for M-Files Aino server installation. Look for M-Files Server in installed programs or services.Affected if M-Files Aino is not installed on the system
-
Determine installed M-Files Aino versionOpen M-Files Admin tool, navigate to the server properties, or check the installed program version information. Compare against 24.10.Affected if Installed version is earlier than 24.10 (e.g., 24.9.x or earlier)
-
Verify user permission configurationReview the effective permissions assigned to user accounts in M-Files Admin under Vault > Users and Permissions to confirm standard permission boundaries exist.Affected if Standard permission model is in use and users have authenticated access to the vault
If M-Files Aino is installed and the version is earlier than 24.10, the environment is affected by this authorization bypass vulnerability.

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 · scopedUpgrade M-Files Aino to version 24.10 or later to resolve the permission evaluation flaw.
M-Files Aino version 24.10 or later
- 1. Identify the current version of M-Files Aino by checking the application or administrative console
- 2. Plan an upgrade to version 24.10 or later, as this version addresses the improper access control vulnerability
- 3. Create a full backup of the M-Files Aino installation and associated database before proceeding
- 4. Review M-Files release notes and upgrade documentation for version 24.10
- 5. Execute the upgrade following M-Files standard upgrade procedures
- 6. After upgrade, verify that effective permissions are correctly evaluated by testing access controls on sensitive objects
- 7. Confirm the version has been updated to 24.10 or later
