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
Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability in BOLD Workplanner in versions prior to 2.5.25 (4935b438f9b), consisting of a  misuse of the general enquiry web service.

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

An Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability exists in the general enquiry web service of BOLD Workplanner prior to version 2.5.25. The vulnerability allows attackers to access unauthorized resources by manipulating object references in API requests, bypassing proper authorization checks.

MitigationUpgrade to BOLD Workplanner version 2.5.25 (4935b438f9b) or later. Implement proper object-level authorization checks on all web service endpoints to validate that the requesting user has permission to access the requested resources.

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 BOLD Workplanner version
    Locate the version information in the application (typically found in the about page, system information, or version file within the installation directory). Compare this version number to 2.5.25.
    Affected if The installed version is lower than 2.5.25 (e.g., 2.5.24, 2.5.20, etc.)
  2. Determine if the general enquiry web service is enabled
    Check the web service configuration or API endpoint settings to confirm the general enquiry web service component is active and accessible.
    Affected if The general enquiry web service is enabled and exposed via HTTP/HTTPS
  3. Verify API authorization controls on object references
    Inspect the web service API configuration and code to determine if object-level authorization validation is performed before returning resource data.
    Affected if The API accepts object references (such as IDs, keys, or parameters) without verifying the requesting user's permissions to access those specific objects
  4. Check for direct object reference exposure in API endpoints
    Review API request patterns and logs to identify endpoints that accept object identifiers (record IDs, document IDs, etc.) as parameters without ownership or permission checks.
    Affected if API endpoints accept direct object identifiers in requests and return data without validating user authorization for that specific object

A user is affected if their BOLD Workplanner version is below 2.5.25 AND the general enquiry web service is enabled and accessible, allowing unauthorized access to resources via manipulated object references.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 2.5.25 or later
Fixed in 2.5.25
Interim mitigation
