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
A vulnerability has been found in SeriaWei ZKEACMS up to 4.3. This affects the function Delete of the file src/ZKEACMS.Redirection/Controllers/UrlRedirectionController.cs of the component POST Request Handler. The manipulation leads to improper authorization. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

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

The ZKEACMS application contains an improper authorization vulnerability in the Delete function of the UrlRedirectionController.cs file. The POST request handler for deleting URL redirections lacks proper authorization checks, allowing remote authenticated users to potentially delete redirection entries without appropriate permissions.

MitigationImplement proper authorization checks (e.g., [Authorize] attribute with appropriate roles/permissions) on the Delete action in UrlRedirectionController.cs to verify the user has rights to delete URL redirections before processing the request.

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. Confirm ZKEACMS installation
    Search for ZKEACMS DLLs, NuGet packages, or the application bin folder for 'ZKEACMS' assemblies. Check the application's About page or configuration files for ZKEACMS references.
    Affected if ZKEACMS is not present in the environment, the vulnerability does not apply.
  2. Determine ZKEACMS version
    Locate the ZKEACMS version number in the project's packages.config, .csproj file, or the assembly version of ZKEACMS.dll in the bin directory. Compare against any official version releases of ZKEACMS.
    Affected if The installed version is older than versions that contain the fixed UrlRedirectionController.cs with proper authorization.
  3. Locate UrlRedirectionController.cs
    Find the UrlRedirectionController.cs file in the source code or decompiled assembly. This file is typically located in the ZKEACMS project under Areas/Admin/Controllers or similar administrative routing paths.
    Affected if The file does not exist, indicating a different or custom build that may not have this vulnerability.
  4. Inspect Delete action for authorization
    Open UrlRedirectionController.cs and examine the Delete method (both POST and any overloads). Look for the presence of [Authorize] attribute or custom authorization logic immediately above the method declaration.
    Affected if The Delete action lacks an [Authorize] attribute or equivalent role/permission check, meaning any authenticated user can invoke it.
  5. Verify URL redirection feature is accessible
    Log into the ZKEACMS admin panel and navigate to the URL redirection management section (typically under URL Rewrite or Redirect settings in the CMS admin area). Confirm the feature is available to your user account.
    Affected if The URL redirection feature is not enabled or accessible in the admin interface, the attack surface does not exist.

The environment is affected if ZKEACMS is installed, the Delete action in UrlRedirectionController.cs lacks proper [Authorize] attributes, and the URL redirection feature is accessible to authenticated users.
