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
Missing Authorization vulnerability in realtyworkstation Realty Workstation realty-workstation allows Accessing Functionality Not Properly Constrained by ACLs.This issue affects Realty Workstation: from n/a through <= 1.0.45.

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

This is a broken access control vulnerability in Realty Workstation version 1.0.45 and earlier where certain functionality lacks proper Authorization checks, allowing authenticated users (or potentially unauthenticated users) to access resources or perform actions outside their intended permissions. The specific endpoints or actions affected are not detailed in the advisory.

MitigationImplement proper Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) or ACL checks on all sensitive endpoints and functions within the application, and upgrade to the latest patched version of Realty Workstation when available.

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 installed Realty Workstation version
    Locate the application version number in the software itself (typically in Help > About, a version info file, or the installer metadata) or check the installed package via your software inventory system
    Affected if The installed version is 1.0.45 or any earlier version
  2. Verify access control configuration exists
    Inspect the application configuration files or admin settings for Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) or Access Control List (ACL) settings. Look for files such as config.xml, settings.json, or database tables storing permission rules
    Affected if No RBAC or ACL configuration is found, or authorization checks are disabled in the configuration
  3. Test sensitive endpoint accessibility
    Using an authenticated user with limited privileges (or no authentication), attempt to access or invoke functionality that should be restricted to administrators or other roles. This includes API endpoints, administrative functions, or data access paths
    Affected if Lower-privileged or unauthenticated users can access resources or execute actions intended only for higher-privileged roles
  4. Review user role assignments
    Examine the user management section of the application to confirm which users are assigned to which roles, and verify that role permissions are properly enforced
    Affected if Users have unintended elevated permissions or role assignments are not being enforced

A user is affected if their installed Realty Workstation version is 1.0.45 or earlier AND the application lacks proper authorization enforcement on sensitive endpoints or functions.
