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
Users with low privileges (all permissions deselected in the administrator permissions settings) can view certain pages that expose sensitive information such as company names, users' names and surnames, stage names, and monitoring campaigns and their descriptions. In addition, unprivileged users can see and edit the descriptions of tags. At the time of publication of the CVE no patch is available.

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

This is an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) / Broken Access Control vulnerability where users with minimal or no permissions (all administrator permissions deselected) can view sensitive pages exposing company names, user full names, stage names, monitoring campaign details and descriptions. Additionally, the flaw allows unprivileged users to view and modify tag descriptions without proper authorization.

MitigationSince no vendor patch is available, implement application-layer authorization checks to verify user permissions before rendering sensitive pages or allowing tag description edits. Restrict access to sensitive data pages and tag management functions to appropriately privileged users only.

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 user role configuration
    Locate the user management or administration panel where user roles and permissions are defined. Identify a test account or create a new account with minimal or no administrative permissions (all permission checkboxes deselected).
    Affected if A user account exists with all administrator permissions deselected and still can access sensitive functionality
  2. Test access to sensitive pages
    Using the minimal-permission test account, attempt to navigate to pages that typically contain company names, user full names, stage names, and monitoring campaign details. These may be found under administration, settings, user management, campaign monitoring, or similar sections.
    Affected if The minimal-permission user can view pages containing company names, user full names, stage names, monitoring campaign details, or campaign descriptions without proper authorization
  3. Verify tag description access controls
    Using the minimal-permission test account, locate any tag management or tagging functionality. Attempt to view existing tag descriptions and attempt to create or modify a tag description.
    Affected if The unprivileged user can view existing tag descriptions or create/modify tag descriptions without proper authorization
  4. Review permission enforcement
    Inspect the application source code or configuration files related to access control, particularly around page routing and tag management endpoints. Look for authorization checks before rendering sensitive data or allowing tag modifications.
    Affected if No server-side authorization validation is performed before returning sensitive page content or allowing tag description changes

Your environment is affected if users with minimal or no permissions can access sensitive pages or modify tag descriptions without proper authorization checks being enforced.
