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
Unauthenticated Insecure Direct Object References (IDOR) in School Management <= 93.1.0 versions.

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

Unauthenticated IDOR vulnerability in School Management <= 93.1.0 allows unauthenticated attackers to directly reference object identifiers (e.g., database records, files) to access or modify sensitive data without proper authorization validation.

MitigationImplement proper object-level authorization checks on all sensitive endpoints and validate user permissions before allowing access to, or modification of, any object references.

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 School Management software version
    Locate the installed School Management application and determine its version number, typically found in the software's about page, header files, or version metadata file within the application directory
    Affected if The installed version is 93.1.0 or lower
  2. Identify object-referencing endpoints
    Map the application endpoints that accept object identifiers such as record IDs, file names, or document references in the URL or request parameters
    Affected if Endpoints that directly reference objects (database records, files) without requiring authentication are present
  3. Verify unauthenticated access to sensitive endpoints
    Attempt to access object-referencing endpoints without providing any authentication credentials or session tokens
    Affected if Sensitive endpoints are accessible without authentication
  4. Test object identifier manipulation
    Send requests to object-referencing endpoints with different object IDs (e.g., record IDs, file paths) without authorization to see if unauthorized data access or modification occurs
    Affected if Different object identifiers return or modify data belonging to other users without authorization checks

The environment is affected if School Management version is 93.1.0 or lower and endpoints that handle object identifiers are accessible without authentication and lack proper authorization validation on object references.

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.
