CVE-2025-1815
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 vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in pbrong hrms up to 1.0.1. This affects the function HrmsDB of the file \resource\resource.go. The manipulation of the argument user_cookie leads to improper authorization. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public 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 confidenceThe vulnerability is an improper authorization issue in the HrmsDB function within resource.go of pbrong hrms up to version 1.0.1. The user_cookie argument can be manipulated to bypass authentication controls, allowing unauthorized access to the HRMS system. The exploit is remotely exploitable and has been publicly disclosed.

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.
-
Identify if pbrong HRMS is deployedSearch the system for the HRMS application - look for web application directories, web server configs, or the application binary/name 'pbrong' or 'hrms' in installed software listingsAffected if The application named pbrong hrms is found running on the system
-
Determine the installed versionCheck the application's version information - look in application metadata files, about pages, or version-specific configuration files. Compare the found version to the affected range (up to and including version 1.0.1)Affected if The installed version is 1.0.1 or any earlier version of pbrong hrms
-
Locate the vulnerable componentFind the file named 'resource.go' within the application source code or deployment and identify the HrmsDB function. This is where the improper authorization existsAffected if The HrmsDB function exists in resource.go and handles user_cookie parameters
-
Verify network exposure of the HRMS interfaceDetermine if the HRMS web interface is accessible from the network - check firewall rules, web server bindings, and whether the application listens on external interfacesAffected if The HRMS application is exposed to network/internet access, allowing remote exploitation
-
Test for authentication bypass via user_cookieIf the web interface is accessible, examine how the user_cookie parameter is processed in the HrmsDB function. The vulnerability allows manipulation of this cookie to bypass authentication controlsAffected if The application accepts user_cookie without proper validation or allows cookie values to be crafted that bypass authentication checks
The environment is affected if pbrong hrms version 1.0.1 or earlier is installed and the HrmsDB function with its user_cookie parameter handling is accessible, as the improper authorization allows bypass of authentication controls.

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 authorization validation in the HrmsDB function to verify user_cookie authenticity and enforce access controls. Consider implementing additional authentication mechanisms beyond cookie-based authentication.
