CVE-2025-40660
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 · uneditedAn Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability has been found in DM Corporative CMS. This vulnerability allows an attacker to access the private area setting the option parameter equal to 0, 1 or 2 in /administer/select node/data.asp?mode=catalogue&id1=1&id2=1session=&cod=1&networks=0.
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 confidenceIDOR vulnerability in DM Corporative CMS allowing unauthenticated access to private administrative areas by manipulating the 'option' parameter to values 0, 1, or 2 in the /administer/select node/data.asp endpoint. The application fails to verify user authorization before granting access to sensitive functionality.

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 DM Corporative CMS installation and versionCheck your web server for files matching 'DM Corporative CMS' or review application documentation/banner to determine the installed version numberAffected if The installed version is earlier than 2025.01
-
Locate the vulnerable endpointSearch web server logs or application directory for the path '/administer/select node/data.asp' - check if this file exists in the deployed applicationAffected if The endpoint exists in the application
-
Verify unauthenticated access is possibleSend an HTTP GET request to the endpoint without any session token or authentication header, using query parameter 'option=0' (or 1 or 2), and observe if the response returns administrative content without requiring loginAffected if The endpoint returns 200 OK with administrative data without requiring authentication credentials
-
Check authorization enforcement on the endpointReview application source code or proxy logs to see if the endpoint validates user session and role permissions before returning sensitive contentAffected if The application does not verify user authorization before exposing administrative functionality
A defender is affected if DM Corporative CMS version is below 2025.01 and the /administer/select node/data.asp endpoint returns administrative content when accessed without authentication by manipulating the option parameter to 0, 1, or 2.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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.
dbcve · scoped2025.01
Implement proper session-based authentication and role-based authorization checks to validate user access rights before returning any private content. The 'option' parameter should be validated against the authenticated user's permissions.
2025.01
- 1. Identify the current version of DM Corporative CMS installed
- 2. Backup the current CMS installation and database before proceeding with upgrade
- 3. Upgrade DM Corporative CMS to version 2025.01 or later
- 4. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the CMS version
- 5. Test that the vulnerability is remediated by attempting to access the private area via the vulnerable URL parameter manipulation
