CVE-2025-11862
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 · uneditedA security issue was discovered within Verve Asset Manager allowing unauthorized read-only users to read, update, and delete users via the API.
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 confidenceVerve Asset Manager contains an authorization bypass vulnerability where read-only users can perform administrative operations (read, update, delete) on user accounts through the API, due to improper permission enforcement on API endpoints.

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 Verve Asset Manager installationLocate the Verve Asset Manager application - check for the application binaries, web interface, or service running on typical ports (typically 8080, 8443, or custom ports). Look for 'Verve Asset Manager' in installed programs or running services.Affected if The product is not installed or this is a different product entirely.
-
Identify installed versionCheck the application version through the admin UI (usually in About/Help section), API endpoint like /api/version, or by examining the application binaries/manifest files. Compare against any available version information.Affected if Unable to determine version or version is unknown.
-
Verify read-only user role existsLog in with a user assigned the read-only role, or check the role definitions in the admin panel under User Management or RBAC settings to confirm a read-only role is configured.Affected if No read-only role is defined in the system.
-
Test API permissions for read-only usersUsing a read-only account, attempt to send API requests to user management endpoints (such as GET, POST, PUT, DELETE on /api/users or similar endpoints). Check if PUT/POST/DELETE requests succeed where they should fail.Affected if Read-only users can successfully create, update, or delete user objects via API.
-
Inspect role-based access control configurationReview the RBAC or permission matrix in the admin interface to see what permissions are assigned to the read-only role. Look for user management or user object permissions that should be restricted to read-only but are incorrectly set to full access.Affected if Read-only role is shown as having Create, Update, or Delete permissions on user objects.
Your environment is affected if a read-only user account can successfully perform Create, Update, or Delete operations on user objects through the API, or if the read-only role is configured with elevated permissions beyond read access.

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 role-based access control (RBAC) validation on all API endpoints to ensure read-only users cannot access administrative user management functions.
