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 Israpil Textmetrics webtexttool allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Textmetrics: from n/a through <= 3.6.1.

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 · low confidence

Missing authorization vulnerability in Textmetrics webtexttool allows attackers to access functionality or data without proper authentication. The issue involves incorrectly configured access control security levels, likely enabling unauthenticated or insufficiently authorized access to protected resources.

MitigationImplement proper authorization checks on all sensitive endpoints and functions, ensuring users can only access resources they are explicitly permitted to access. Verify access control configuration aligns with the principle of least privilege.

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. Confirm Textmetrics webtexttool installation
    Locate the webtexttool application in your environment by searching for its executable, service, or web application files
    Affected if The software is present and running in your environment
  2. Identify access control configuration files
    Search for configuration files related to authentication and authorization settings, typically found in config directories or application settings
    Affected if Access control settings are set to a weak or permissive level, or if authorization checks are disabled entirely
  3. Test protected endpoints for authorization enforcement
    Attempt to access sensitive functionality or data endpoints without providing credentials or with an unprivileged account
    Affected if Access is granted to protected resources without proper authentication or authorization validation
  4. Review security level settings
    Examine the application security configuration to verify if security levels are properly set according to the principle of least privilege
    Affected if Security levels are configured too permissively or incorrectly, allowing unintended access to functionality or data
  5. Audit endpoint access patterns
    Review application logs or access records to identify if unauthenticated or unauthorized requests have been able to access protected endpoints
    Affected if Logs show successful access to sensitive areas without proper authorization tokens or permissions

A user is affected if Textmetrics webtexttool is installed and lacks proper authorization enforcement on sensitive endpoints or has incorrectly configured access control security levels.
