CVE-2024-41517
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 · uneditedAn Incorrect Access Control vulnerability in "/admin/benutzer/institution/rechteverwaltung/uebersicht" in Feripro <= v2.2.3 allows remote attackers to get a list of all users and their corresponding 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 · moderate confidenceFeripro v2.2.3 and prior contains an incorrect access control vulnerability in the administrative rights management endpoint '/admin/benutzer/institution/rechteverwaltung/uebersicht'. The endpoint fails to properly enforce authentication or authorization checks, allowing unauthenticated or unauthorized remote attackers to directly access the user privilege overview page and enumerate all system users along with their assigned privileges.

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.
-
Check installed Feripro versionLocate the Feripro installation and identify the version number from the application metadata, configuration files, or about page. Common locations include the installation directory, version info files, or the application's main interface.Affected if The installed version is 2.2.3 or any prior version (anything <= 2.2.3).
-
Verify the vulnerable endpoint existsCheck if the application exposes the path '/admin/benutzer/institution/rechteverwaltung/uebersicht' by attempting to access it via HTTP/HTTPS request without providing any authentication credentials.Affected if The endpoint responds with HTTP status 200 or returns content, indicating it is accessible.
-
Test authentication enforcement on the endpointSend an unauthenticated request to the endpoint and examine the response. Compare the behavior to accessing a known protected administrative page that properly requires login.Affected if The endpoint returns user privilege data, user lists, or administrative content without requiring login credentials (no redirect to login, no 401/403 error).
-
Confirm user enumeration is possibleInspect the response from the unauthenticated request to the vulnerable endpoint. Look for arrays or lists of system users, their usernames, and associated privilege/role assignments.Affected if The response contains enumerated user accounts with their assigned privileges or roles, indicating the access control failure is exploitable.
A user is affected if they are running Feripro version 2.2.3 or prior AND the administrative endpoint '/admin/benutzer/institution/rechteverwaltung/uebersicht' is accessible without authentication, returning user privilege data.

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 dataImplement proper authentication and role-based access control (RBAC) checks on the affected administrative endpoint to ensure only authorized administrative users can access the user rights overview functionality.
