CVE-2025-25381
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 · uneditedIncorrect access control in the KSRTC AWATAR app of Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation v1.3.0 allows to view sensitive information such as usernames and passwords.
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 KSRTC AWATAR app v1.3.0 contains an incorrect access control vulnerability that allows unauthorized users to view sensitive credentials such as usernames and passwords. This appears to be a broken access control or insecure direct object reference (IDOR) issue where the application fails to properly validate user authorization before returning sensitive 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.
-
Identify the installed AWATAR app versionCheck the application version in the app settings, about page, or by inspecting the app metadata/APK. For deployed backend services, check the service version or build information.Affected if The installed version is v1.3.0
-
Locate endpoints that handle credentialsReview the application's API documentation or intercept network traffic to identify endpoints that return or process usernames and passwords. Common paths may include /user, /auth, /login, /credentials, or similar.Affected if Endpoints exist that return sensitive credential data
-
Test endpoint access without authenticationSend HTTP requests to the credential-handling endpoints without providing any authentication tokens, session cookies, or authorization headers. Use tools like curl or Burp Suite to inspect the response.Affected if The endpoint returns sensitive credential data (usernames/passwords) without requiring valid authentication
-
Test endpoint access with invalid authenticationSend requests with invalid, expired, or manipulated authentication tokens to the sensitive endpoints to verify if the application properly validates authorization.Affected if Sensitive credential data is returned despite using invalid or unauthorized credentials
If the KSRTC AWATAR app version is v1.3.0 and any API endpoint returns usernames or passwords without requiring valid authentication, the environment is affected by CVE-2025-25381.

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 authentication and authorization checks on all endpoints that return sensitive data. Validate user permissions before exposing any credentials, and ensure API endpoints enforce access controls regardless of whether the user is authenticated.
