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
In Bonitasoft runtime Community edition, the lack of dynamic permissions causes IDOR vulnerability. Dynamic permissions existed only in Subscription edition and have now been restored in Community edition, where they are not custmizable.

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

In Bonitasoft runtime Community edition, an IDOR vulnerability exists due to lack of dynamic permission controls. The dynamic permissions feature, previously only available in the Subscription edition, has been restored in the Community edition but remains non-customizable, allowing unauthorized access to or modification of resources belonging to other users through direct object references.

MitigationEnable and verify that dynamic permissions are properly enforced in the Bonitasoft Community edition deployment to prevent unauthorized resource access. Review user role assignments and ensure the non-customizable dynamic permission controls adequately restrict access to sensitive resources.

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. Confirm Bonitasoft Community edition is in use
    Identify the installed Bonitasoft edition type (Community vs Subscription) in your deployment documentation or system information
    Affected if The deployment is using the Community edition of Bonitasoft runtime
  2. Locate the dynamic permissions configuration
    Access the Bonitasoft admin console or configuration files where dynamic permissions settings are managed for the Community edition
    Affected if Dynamic permissions settings are accessible and currently in a non-customizable state
  3. Verify dynamic permissions are enabled
    Check whether the dynamic permissions feature is turned on in the Community edition deployment settings
    Affected if Dynamic permissions are enabled but remain non-customizable, limiting enforcement flexibility
  4. Test for unauthorized resource access
    Using a standard user account, attempt to access or modify a resource (such as a process, case, or data object) belonging to a different user by using a direct object reference (e.g., modifying an ID parameter in an API request or URL)
    Affected if The request succeeds and returns or modifies data belonging to another user, indicating the IDOR vulnerability is present
  5. Compare installed version to affected release timeline
    Identify the exact Bonitasoft Community edition version number from the runtime installation and compare it against the version range containing the fix for CVE-2024-28087
    Affected if The installed version predates the patched release that addresses the dynamic permission control weakness

You are affected if you run Bonitasoft Community edition with dynamic permissions enabled but still vulnerable to IDOR attacks allowing unauthorized access to other users' resources via direct object references.
