CVE-2025-25241
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 · uneditedDue to a missing authorization check, an attacker who is logged in to application can view/ delete �My Overtime Requests� which could allow the attacker to access employee information. This leads to low impact on confidentiality, integrity of the application. There is no impact on availability.
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 confidenceThis is an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability where a missing authorization check allows any authenticated user to view or delete other users' overtime requests, exposing employee information.

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.
-
Confirm the application has an overtime request featureReview the application's functionality to identify endpoints or modules that handle overtime requests (e.g., look for overtime-related API endpoints, UI pages, or database tables storing overtime data)Affected if The application stores or manages overtime requests and exposes access to them via web endpoints or APIs
-
Verify user authentication is requiredAttempt to access overtime request features without providing valid credentials; check if the application returns an authentication error or redirectAffected if The endpoint allows unauthenticated access to overtime request data (this would be a separate, more severe issue)
-
Identify the object reference mechanismLog in as a standard user and access your own overtime request; examine the request parameters (URL, POST body, headers) to find the unique identifier used to reference the overtime request (such as request_id, overtime_id, or similar)Affected if The application uses predictable, sequential, or directly manipulatable identifiers to access overtime requests
-
Test for unauthorized access to other users' requestsWhile authenticated as User A, modify the object identifier in the request to match another user's overtime request ID and submit the request; observe if the application returns the other user's overtime data without authorization errorsAffected if User A can view, retrieve, or access overtime requests belonging to User B by manipulating the object reference
-
Test for unauthorized deletion of other users' requestsWhile authenticated as User A, attempt to delete an overtime request belonging to User B by manipulating the object identifier in a delete operation; observe if the deletion succeeds without authorization verificationAffected if User A can delete overtime requests owned by User B without proper authorization checks
If the application allows an authenticated user to view or modify overtime requests belonging to another user by changing the request identifier, the environment is affected by this IDOR vulnerability.

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 checks to verify the authenticated user has permission to access or modify the specific overtime request before returning or processing any data.
