CVE-2024-45786
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 · uneditedThis vulnerability exists in Reedos aiM-Star version 2.0.1 due to improper access controls on its certain API endpoints. An authenticated remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by manipulating a parameter through API request URL which could lead to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information belonging to other users.
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 confidenceThis is an IDOR (Insecure Direct Object Reference) vulnerability in Reedos aiM-Star version 2.0.1 where certain API endpoints lack proper authorization checks. An authenticated attacker can manipulate parameters in API request URLs to access sensitive data belonging to other users.

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 Reedos aiM-Star versionLocate and inspect the installed Reedos aiM-Star application version information. This is typically accessible through the application's admin panel, about page, or by checking the software's built-in version display function. Compare the installed version against the affected version 2.0.1.Affected if The installed version is exactly 2.0.1
-
Identify accessible API endpointsReview the application's API documentation or enumerate available API endpoints by examining network traffic during normal application use, or by accessing any API discovery endpoints if exposed. Document all endpoints that accept user-identifiable parameters such as user IDs, record IDs, or resource identifiers in the request URL.Affected if The application exposes API endpoints that accept object identifiers as parameters
-
Test authorization on parameter-based API requestsUsing an authenticated user account, make API requests to endpoints that accept ID parameters (such as user IDs or record IDs). Modify the parameter values to reference resources belonging to a different user. Observe whether the API returns data for the alternative user without returning an authorization error.Affected if The API returns data belonging to a different user when parameters are manipulated, indicating missing authorization checks
You are affected if the installed Reedos aiM-Star version is exactly 2.0.1 and the API endpoints accept user-controlled parameters without validating that the requesting user has permission to access the requested resource.

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 API endpoints to ensure users can only access resources they are explicitly authorized to view, and validate that the requested resource belongs to the requesting user.
