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
microCLAUDIA in v3.2.0 and prior has an improper access control vulnerability. This flaw allows an authenticated user to perform unauthorized actions on other organizations' systems by sending direct API requests. To do so, the attacker can use organization identifiers obtained through a compromised endpoint or deduced manually. This vulnerability allows access between tenants, enabling an attacker to list and manage remote assets, uninstall agents, and even delete vaccines configurations.

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 · high confidence

microCLAUDIA versions 3.2.0 and prior contain an improper access control vulnerability allowing authenticated users in one tenant to access, list, modify, or delete resources belonging to other organizations by manipulating organization identifiers in direct API requests. This multi-tenancy authorization bypass enables attackers to manage remote assets, uninstall agents, and delete vaccine configurations across tenant boundaries.

MitigationImplement proper tenant isolation and authorization validation on all API endpoints that accept organization identifiers, ensuring the authenticated user's session context matches the requested organization before performing any action.

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 the installed microCLAUDIA version
    Run the command to retrieve the microCLAUDIA version (commonly: 'microclaudia --version', check the product UI about page, or inspect the installed package metadata file)
    Affected if The installed version is 3.2.0 or any version prior to 3.2.0
  2. Confirm multi-tenancy is enabled
    Check the microCLAUDIA configuration file or admin console for tenant/organization management settings - look for multi-tenant mode, organization support, or tenant isolation configuration flags
    Affected if Multi-tenancy with multiple organizations is configured and active
  3. Verify API endpoint organization parameter handling
    Review API documentation or intercept API calls to identify endpoints that accept organization_id, org_id, tenant_id, or organization identifiers as request parameters
    Affected if The API accepts organization identifiers in request parameters without validating they belong to the authenticated user's session
  4. Inspect authorization configuration for tenant context validation
    Examine the authorization or access control configuration files to determine if API requests validate that the authenticated user's organization matches the requested organization identifier
    Affected if No explicit tenant context validation exists between the user's session organization and the organization identifier in API requests

A user is affected if they run microCLAUDIA version 3.2.0 or prior with multi-tenancy enabled, where the API accepts organization identifiers without validating the authenticated user's session matches the requested organization.
