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
This vulnerability exists in RupeeWeb trading platform due to insufficient authorization controls on certain API endpoints handling addition and deletion operations. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an authenticated remote attacker to modify information belonging to other user accounts.

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 an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability in RupeeWeb trading platform's API endpoints. Due to insufficient authorization checks on add and delete operations, an authenticated attacker can manipulate object references in API requests to modify or delete data belonging to other user accounts.

MitigationImplement proper authorization validation on all API endpoints to verify the authenticated user owns or has permission to access the requested resource before performing add/delete operations, and consider using indirect object references.

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 RupeeWeb installation
    Search for RupeeWeb application files, check running services/processes, or review web server configurations for RupeeWeb references
    Affected if RupeeWeb trading platform is present in the environment
  2. Determine RupeeWeb version
    Check application version files, about pages, API version headers, or configuration files for version information
    Affected if Version cannot be determined or is unknown/older before the fix
  3. Review API endpoint configuration
    Examine API route configurations for add (POST/PUT) and delete (DELETE) endpoints in the application's routing files
    Affected if API endpoints for add/delete operations exist and are accessible
  4. Inspect authorization middleware on API endpoints
    Review the code handling API requests to verify if authorization checks validate user ownership before performing add/delete operations
    Affected if Authorization middleware is missing or does not verify object ownership before add/delete actions
  5. Check for indirect object reference implementation
    Verify if the application uses indirect object references (mapping internal IDs to external references) rather than direct object IDs in API requests
    Affected if API accepts direct object identifiers without mapping or validation
  6. Test API authorization boundaries
    Using an authenticated test account, attempt to modify or delete an object by referencing another user's object identifier in API requests
    Affected if Requests succeed for objects belonging to different users without proper authorization errors

The environment is affected if RupeeWeb trading platform is running and the API add/delete endpoints lack proper authorization checks that verify the authenticated user owns or has permission to access the requested resource.
