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 118group Team 118GROUP Agent team-118group-agent allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Team 118GROUP Agent: from n/a through <= 1.6.0.

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

Missing authorization vulnerability in 118GROUP Agent allows attackers to exploit incorrectly configured access control security levels. This enables unauthorized access to sensitive functionality or data due to improper or missing authorization checks on certain endpoints or operations.

MitigationImplement proper authorization checks on all sensitive endpoints and enforce correct access control security levels throughout the application.

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 if 118GROUP Agent is installed
    Locate and confirm the presence of 118GROUP Agent application files or service on the system. Check running processes for the Agent executable or service name.
    Affected if 118GROUP Agent is found running on the system
  2. Review access control security level configuration
    Inspect the application's configuration files or settings related to access control, security levels, or authorization policies. Look for entries that define who can access what functionality.
    Affected if Security levels are set to incorrect, weak, or misconfigured values
  3. Enumerate exposed endpoints or operations
    Map the application's exposed endpoints, APIs, or functional areas, particularly those dealing with sensitive data or administrative operations.
    Affected if Sensitive endpoints or operations are exposed without clear authorization controls
  4. Test endpoint authorization enforcement
    Attempt to access identified sensitive endpoints or operations using an unprivileged or unauthorized account. Compare behavior against expected access denial.
    Affected if Unauthorized access is granted to sensitive functionality that should require elevated privileges
  5. Inspect authorization check implementation
    Review the application's source code or configuration for presence and correctness of authorization validation logic on sensitive operations.
    Affected if Authorization checks are missing, incomplete, or incorrectly implemented on sensitive functions

If 118GROUP Agent is running and sensitive endpoints or functionality are accessible without proper authorization enforcement, the environment is affected by this vulnerability.
