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
Cybele Software Thinfinity Workspace before v7.0.2.113 was discovered to contain an access control issue in the Create Profile section. This vulnerability allows attackers to create arbitrary user profiles with elevated privileges.

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

Thinfinity Workspace before v7.0.2.113 contains a broken access control vulnerability in the Create Profile functionality. Attackers can bypass authorization checks to create arbitrary user profiles with elevated privileges, enabling privilege escalation within the application.

MitigationUpgrade Thinfinity Workspace to v7.0.2.113 or later which implements proper access control validation in the Create Profile section. Until patched, monitor profile creation activities for unauthorized modifications.

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 Thinfinity Workspace version
    Locate the Thinfinity Workspace installation and check the version number (typically in the application itself, installation directory, or Windows Programs and Features). Compare it to the vulnerable range: any version before 7.0.2.113 is affected.
    Affected if Installed version is less than 7.0.2.113
  2. Verify Create Profile feature exists
    Access the Thinfinity Workspace administrative interface and navigate to the profile creation section. Confirm the Create Profile functionality is present and accessible in the current installation.
    Affected if Create Profile functionality exists and is accessible in the application
  3. Review existing user profiles for privilege anomalies
    List all user profiles in the Thinfinity Workspace system. Examine profiles for unexpected elevated privileges, administrative roles, or permissions that do not align with the expected security model.
    Affected if Profiles exist with elevated privileges that were not explicitly authorized by legitimate administrators
  4. Check audit logs for profile creation events
    Review Thinfinity Workspace audit or event logs for profile creation activities. Look for creation timestamps, creator accounts, and privilege levels assigned to newly created profiles.
    Affected if Profile creation events exist that were not initiated by authorized administrator accounts

A defender is affected if Thinfinity Workspace version is below 7.0.2.113 and the Create Profile feature is accessible, enabling potential unauthorized profile creation with elevated privileges.
