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
An authenticated attacker can obtain any plant name by knowing the plant ID.

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 where an authenticated user can access plant name records by directly manipulating the plant ID parameter. The application fails to validate that the authenticated user has authorization to access the specific plant record before returning the data.

MitigationImplement proper authorization checks to verify the authenticated user has permission to access the requested plant record before returning any data. Consider adding object-level access control validation in the data retrieval logic.

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 Growatt Cloud Portal installation
    Determine if your environment includes the Growatt Cloud Portal web application. Check installed software listings or consult your system documentation for the presence of this solar monitoring platform.
    Affected if The Growatt Cloud Portal is not present in your environment.
  2. Check installed version
    Locate the version information for your Growatt Cloud Portal installation. This is typically found in the application about page, system settings, or by examining the application metadata files. Compare your version number to the affected range of <= 3.6.0.
    Affected if Your installed version is 3.6.0 or lower.
  3. Verify plant monitoring feature is accessible
    Confirm that the plant name records feature is enabled and accessible within the portal. This typically involves logging in as an authenticated user and navigating to the plant monitoring or dashboard section where plant records are displayed.
    Affected if The plant monitoring feature is not available or you cannot authenticate to the portal.
  4. Test for IDOR via plant ID parameter manipulation
    Using an authenticated session, access a plant record you are authorized to view. Then attempt to modify the plant ID parameter in the request (such as in the URL query string or API call) to reference a different plant ID that you do not own or have permission to access. Observe whether the application returns data for the unauthorized plant record without proper authorization validation.
    Affected if The application returns plant record data for unauthorized plant IDs without rejecting the request.

You are affected if you are running Growatt Cloud Portal version 3.6.0 or lower and the plant monitoring feature is accessible to authenticated users, particularly if unauthorized plant ID manipulation returns data.
