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 Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability exists in the vehicleId parameter, allowing unauthorized access to sensitive information of other users’ vehicles. Exploiting this issue enables an attacker to retrieve data such as GPS coordinates, encryption keys, initialization vectors, model numbers, and fuel statistics belonging to other users, instead of being limited to their own vehicle data. The fix for this vulnerability is a server-side authorization fix.

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

This is an IDOR vulnerability in the vehicleId parameter that allows attackers to access other users' vehicle data by manipulating this parameter. Sensitive data exposed includes GPS coordinates, encryption keys, initialization vectors, model numbers, and fuel statistics that should be restricted to the vehicle owner.

MitigationImplement server-side authorization checks to verify the authenticated user owns or has permission to access the requested vehicleId before returning any data. Also consider implementing additional access control layers and logging for sensitive data access.

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 vehicleId parameter usage
    Search application code, API endpoints, and request handlers for occurrences of 'vehicleId' parameter in controllers, routes, or request processing logic
    Affected if The application accepts vehicleId as a parameter in any API endpoint or request handler without explicit ownership verification
  2. Review authorization logic for vehicle access
    Inspect the code that processes vehicleId requests to verify if user ownership or permission checks are performed before returning vehicle data
    Affected if No server-side authorization check exists to verify the authenticated user owns or has permission for the requested vehicleId
  3. Test for IDOR by accessing different vehicleIds
    Using an authenticated account, submit requests with different vehicleId values (e.g., vehicleId=1, vehicleId=2) and observe if data is returned for vehicles not owned by the current user
    Affected if Requests with vehicleId values belonging to other users return successful responses containing GPS coordinates, encryption keys, IVs, model numbers, or fuel statistics
  4. Verify sensitive data exposure
    Confirm that responses include sensitive fields such as GPS coordinates, encryption keys, initialization vectors (IV), model numbers, or fuel statistics when accessing vehicle data via manipulated vehicleId
    Affected if The application returns any sensitive data (GPS, encryption keys, IVs, model numbers, fuel stats) for a vehicleId that the authenticated user does not own
  5. Check access control logging
    Review application logs to determine if vehicle data access attempts are logged with user identity and vehicleId for audit purposes
    Affected if No logging or insufficient logging exists for vehicle data access events, preventing detection of unauthorized access attempts

A user is affected if their application accepts vehicleId as a parameter and returns data without verifying that the authenticated user owns or has permission to access that specific vehicle, exposing GPS coordinates, encryption keys, IVs, model numbers, or fuel statistics to unauthorized users.
