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
The U-Office Force from e-Excellence has an Improper Authentication vulnerability, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to use a particular API and alter cookies to log in as an administrator.

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

U-Office Force from e-Excellence contains an Improper Authentication vulnerability allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to exploit a specific API endpoint and manipulate cookies to bypass authentication and gain administrator access to the system.

MitigationImplement proper authentication validation on the vulnerable API, enforce secure session and cookie management with server-side validation, and apply vendor-provided patches immediately given the critical severity.

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 U-Office Force is installed
    Check system inventory or look for U-Office Force installation directories, typically in standard application paths or as a registered service.
    Affected if U-Office Force software is found on the system
  2. Determine the installed version of U-Office Force
    Access the admin panel, check the about page, or inspect version files within the installation directory to obtain the exact version number.
    Affected if The installed version is less than 28.0
  3. Verify if the vulnerable API endpoint is accessible
    Identify the API endpoint used for authentication (commonly /api/auth, /api/login, or similar) and test if it responds without authentication using a web request tool.
    Affected if The API endpoint accepts requests without valid authentication credentials
  4. Inspect cookie and session management configuration
    Review the web server or application configuration files for session management settings, particularly cookie-based authentication mechanisms.
    Affected if Cookies can be manipulated server-side validation is absent or insufficient

Your environment is affected if U-Office Force version is below 28.0 and the authentication API endpoint allows cookie manipulation to bypass login.

Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.

Check your environment

Paste your version and any relevant configuration and it will be compared against the affected criteria above. Do not include secrets or credentials.

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.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 28.0 or later
Fixed in 28.0
Interim mitigation

Implement proper authentication validation on the vulnerable API, enforce secure session and cookie management with server-side validation, and apply vendor-provided patches immediately given the critical severity.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

U-Office Force version 28.0 or later

  1. 1. Back up the current U-Office Force installation and database before any upgrade.
  2. 2. Download U-Office Force version 28.0 or later from the official vendor (e-Excellence).
  3. 3. Follow the vendor's documented upgrade procedure to apply the update to your installation.
  4. 4. After upgrading, verify that the new version (28.0+) is correctly installed.
  5. 5. Test that the authentication mechanism properly validates sessions and that cookie manipulation no longer allows privilege escalation.
Caveat Review vendor release notes for version 28.0 to check for any breaking changes or required configuration updates before upgrading in production environments.
