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
Incorrect access control in M2Soft CROWNIX Report & ERS affected v7.x to v7.4.3.599 and v8.x to v8.0.3.79 allows unauthorized attackers to obtain Administrator account access.

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 confidence

M2Soft CROWNIX Report & ERS versions 7.x through 7.4.3.599 and 8.x through 8.0.3.79 contain incorrect access control that allows unauthorized attackers to obtain Administrator account access, likely due to a broken authentication or authorization bypass vulnerability.

MitigationApply vendor patches v7.4.3.600+ and v8.0.3.80+ to remediate the access control vulnerability. If patches are unavailable, restrict network access to the application and implement additional authentication controls.

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 installed CROWNIX version
    Locate the version information for your CROWNIX Report & ERS installation, typically found in the application UI, about section, or installation documentation
    Affected if The installed version falls within 7.x through 7.4.3.599 or 8.x through 8.0.3.79
  2. Verify admin interface accessibility
    Determine whether the CROWNIX administrator interface or admin endpoints are network-accessible from untrusted networks
    Affected if The admin interface is exposed to networks where untrusted users could attempt access
  3. Check for unauthorized admin accounts
    Review user account logs or audit records for any admin-level accounts created or accessed unexpectedly
  4. Inspect authentication configuration
    Examine the application authentication and authorization settings if accessible through the admin panel or configuration files
    Affected if Authentication controls appear misconfigured or weakened compared to documented defaults
  5. Review access control logs
    Check application and web server logs for signs of unauthorized access attempts targeting authentication or authorization endpoints

You are affected if your CROWNIX Report & ERS version is 7.4.3.599 or earlier in the 7.x line, or 8.0.3.79 or earlier in the 8.x line, and the admin interface is network-accessible.
