CVE-2024-44786
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 · uneditedIncorrect access control in Meabilis CMS 1.0 allows attackers to access other users' address books via unspecified vectors.
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 confidenceMeabilis CMS 1.0 contains an incorrect access control vulnerability that allows authenticated or unauthenticated attackers to bypass authorization checks and access other users' address book data. The vulnerability likely stems from improper validation of user permissions when accessing address book resources, potentially through direct object references (IDOR) or missing authorization checks on sensitive endpoints.

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 Meabilis CMS installation and versionIdentify the installed version of Meabilis CMS running in your environment (e.g., check application metadata, login page footer, admin dashboard 'About' section, or configuration files for version strings)Affected if The detected version is 1.0 or falls within an unpatched release range relative to the vulnerability disclosure date
-
Locate address book functionalityIdentify whether the address book feature is enabled or present in the CMS (check for address book menu items, API endpoints related to contacts/addresses, or storage tables for address book data in the database)Affected if Address book functionality is present and accessible in the CMS installation
-
Test address book access controlAttempt to access address book data belonging to a different user account (e.g., by manipulating user ID parameters in address book URLs or API requests, or accessing the endpoint without valid authentication)Affected if You can view, modify, or export address book entries belonging to another user without proper authorization or ownership verification
-
Verify authentication requirementsTest whether the address book endpoints require valid authentication by making unauthenticated requests to address book-related routesAffected if Address book data is accessible without authentication or with only limited/low-privilege authentication
If running Meabilis CMS version 1.0 with the address book feature enabled and you can access another user's address book data without proper authorization, the environment is affected by CVE-2024-44786.

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 authorization validation on all address book access points, ensuring users can only access their own resources. Add permission checks using the authenticated user's session context before returning any address book data.
