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
An authentication bypass vulnerability in anji-plus AJ-Report up to v1.4.2 allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted URL.

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

The AJ-Report application up to version v1.4.2 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to bypass authentication mechanisms through a crafted URL. Once authenticated is bypassed, attackers can execute arbitrary code on the underlying system.

MitigationUpgrade AJ-Report to a version beyond v1.4.2, or apply vendor-supplied patches. If immediate patching is not possible, restrict network access to the AJ-Report management interface using network segmentation or firewall rules.

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 if AJ-Report is deployed
    Check for AJ-Report Java application files, WAR/JAR artifacts, or Docker containers running the aj-report service. Look for processes containing 'aj-report' in the name or listening on typical web application ports.
    Affected if AJ-Report software is present in the environment
  2. Determine the installed version
    Locate the deployed AJ-Report artifact (WAR/JAR file, Docker image, or application directory) and inspect its version metadata. For JAR/WAR files, check the filename, MANIFEST.MF file, or internal version properties. For containers, run 'docker images' or check container labels.
    Affected if The version is v1.4.2 or any earlier version (v1.4.2, v1.4.1, v1.4.0, etc.)
  3. Verify the management interface is network-accessible
    Confirm that the AJ-Report web interface is exposed to network access, either publicly or on internal networks. Check firewall rules, reverse proxy configurations, and application binding settings (listen address 0.0.0.0 vs 127.0.0.1).
    Affected if The AJ-Report HTTP/HTTPS port is reachable from untrusted networks or shared network segments
  4. Confirm authentication mechanism is in use
    Review the application's security configuration to verify that form-based, basic, or token-based authentication is enabled for the management interface. Check if authentication endpoints are accessible without credentials.
    Affected if The application relies on the authentication mechanism that can be bypassed via crafted URL

A system is affected if AJ-Report version v1.4.2 or earlier is deployed and its management interface is network-accessible, since the authentication bypass allows unauthenticated access to protected functionality.
