CVE-2024-11216
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 · uneditedAuthorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key, Exposure of Private Personal Information to an Unauthorized Actor vulnerability in PozitifIK Pik Online allows Account Footprinting, Session Hijacking. This issue affects Pik Online: before 3.1.5.
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 confidencePik Online before version 3.1.5 contains an IDOR (Insecure Direct Object Reference) vulnerability allowing attackers to manipulate user-controlled keys to access unauthorized accounts. This exposes private personal information and enables account footprinting and session hijacking through improper authorization checks.

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.
-
Determine installed Pik Online versionLocate the Pik Online application and check its version number (typically found in application metadata, about page, or version file). Compare this version against 3.1.5.Affected if The installed version is any version prior to 3.1.5 (e.g., 3.1.0, 3.0.x, 2.x)
-
Identify user-controlled key usage in requestsReview application traffic and API endpoints to determine if user accounts are accessed using IDs, keys, or other identifiers that can be controlled or modified by the user (such as URL parameters, form fields, or API request bodies).Affected if The application uses user-supplied identifiers (e.g., user_id, account_id, key parameters) to access account data without immutable session binding.
-
Check authorization logic for object referencesInspect the codebase or configuration for authorization validation logic that verifies the requesting user owns or has permission to access the requested object before returning data.Affected if No authorization check exists, or checks can be bypassed, allowing User A to access User B's resources by manipulating object references in requests.
-
Review account access endpoints for IDOR exposureTest or audit endpoints that retrieve, modify, or delete user-specific data (profile, settings, personal information) by manipulating the object identifier to reference a different user's data.Affected if Requests with modified identifiers return data from other user accounts, confirming the IDOR vulnerability is present.
You are affected if running Pik Online version lower than 3.1.5 and the application allows user-controlled keys to access account resources without proper ownership validation.

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 dataUpgrade to Pik Online version 3.1.5 or later. Implement proper authorization validation ensuring users can only access their own resources, and validate all object references before granting access.
