CVE-2024-26263
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 · uneditedEBM Technologies RISWEB's specific URL path is not properly controlled by permission, allowing attackers to browse specific pages and query sensitive data without login.
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 confidenceEBM Technologies RISWEB has improper authorization controls on specific URL paths, allowing unauthenticated attackers to bypass authentication and access sensitive pages or query data without login credentials. This is a Broken Access Control / Insecure Direct Object Reference vulnerability in the web application's permission enforcement mechanism.

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.
-
Confirm RISWEB versionLocate the installed RISWEB version through the application's about page, admin panel, or version file in the installation directory. Compare this version against the affected range: >= 1.0 and < 3.0.Affected if The installed version is 1.0 through 2.x
-
Identify authentication-protected endpointsReview application documentation or enumerate common sensitive paths such as administrative interfaces, patient data views, or reporting modules that should require login.Affected if The application exposes sensitive endpoints that should require authentication
-
Test for authorization bypassAttempt to access identified sensitive endpoints directly without providing any login credentials, using a browser or HTTP client.Affected if Sensitive pages load or data is returned without any authentication being required
-
Check authentication enforcement configurationInspect the web server or application configuration files that define access control rules and permission mappings for URL paths.Affected if Authentication is not enforced on sensitive URL paths
User is affected if RISWEB version is >= 1.0 and < 3.0 AND sensitive endpoints can be accessed without authentication.

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 · scoped3.0
Implement proper authentication and session validation on all URL paths, enforce authorization checks before rendering sensitive pages or returning data, and validate user permissions for every protected resource request.
RISWEB version 3.0 or later
- Contact EBM Technologies to obtain the upgraded RISWEB version 3.0 or later
- Schedule a maintenance window for the upgrade process
- Backup the current RISWEB configuration and database before upgrading
- Upgrade RISWEB to version 3.0 or latest stable release
- Verify that the permission controls are properly applied to all URL paths
- Test that authentication is now required for accessing sensitive pages and data
- Confirm the vulnerability is no longer exploitable
