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 security vulnerability has been detected in nutzam NutzBoot up to 2.6.0-SNAPSHOT. This impacts an unknown function of the file nutzboot-demo/nutzboot-demo-simple/nutzboot-demo-simple-web3j/src/main/java/io/nutz/demo/simple/module/EthModule.java of the component Transaction API. The manipulation of the argument from/to/wei leads to improper authorization. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used.

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

Vulnerability in NutzBoot's EthModule.java Transaction API where manipulation of from/to/wei arguments leads to improper authorization. The issue affects the Ethereum-related transaction handling in the demo application, allowing unauthorized transactions to be processed. Public exploit available indicates ease of exploitation.

MitigationImplement proper authorization checks on all Transaction API endpoints, validate caller permissions before processing from/to/wei parameters, and restrict transaction operations to authorized users only.

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 NutzBoot installation and version
    Locate the NutzBoot libraries or dependencies in your project (check pom.xml, lib folder, or build configuration). Determine the installed version number.
    Affected if The installed NutzBoot version is 2.6.0 or lower.
  2. Locate EthModule.java in the codebase
    Search for the file EthModule.java in your source code or compiled classes. This file contains the Transaction API with the vulnerable from/to/wei parameter handling.
    Affected if EthModule.java with Transaction API handling Ethereum parameters is present in the application.
  3. Verify Ethereum transaction endpoints are exposed
    Check application routing/configuration for endpoints handled by EthModule (typically /eth/ or similar paths related to Ethereum transactions). Identify if from/to/wei parameters are accepted via API calls.
    Affected if Transaction API endpoints accepting from/to/wei parameters are publicly accessible or unauthenticated.
  4. Confirm demo application deployment
    Determine if the deployed application is the NutzBoot demo application or includes demo functionality for Ethereum transactions.
    Affected if The demo application with Ethereum transaction handling is deployed.
  5. Check for missing authorization on Transaction API
    Review the EthModule.java code or intercept API requests to verify whether authorization checks occur before processing from/to/wei transaction parameters.
    Affected if No authorization validation is performed before processing from/to/wei arguments in Transaction API calls.

You are affected if NutzBoot version is 2.6.0 or lower AND the EthModule Transaction API with Ethereum from/to/wei parameters is exposed without proper authorization checks.
