CVE-2025-41342
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 · uneditedA lack of authorisation vulnerability has been detected in CanalDenuncia.app. This vulnerability allows an attacker to access other users' information by sending a POST through the parameter 'id_user' in '/backend/api/buscarUsuarioId.php'.
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 confidenceA lack of authorization vulnerability in CanalDenuncia.app allows attackers to access other users' information by manipulating the 'id_user' parameter in a POST request to /backend/api/buscarUsuarioId.php. This is a classic Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) where the API endpoint does not verify that the requesting user has permission to access the specified user data.

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.
-
Confirm you are running Canaldenuncia Canaldenuncia.appIdentify the web application by inspecting the application banners, footer, or by examining the HTTP responses. The application is typically deployed as a whistleblower platform.Affected if The application is Canaldenuncia Canaldenuncia.app
-
Check the installed versionLocate the version number in the application configuration files, about page, or by checking the source code. Common locations include config files, README files, or the main index page footer.Affected if The version is lower than 4.4.8
-
Verify the vulnerable endpoint existsCheck if the file /backend/api/buscarUsuarioId.php is present in the deployed application by attempting to access it or listing the backend/api directory contents.Affected if The file /backend/api/buscarUsuarioId.php exists and is accessible
-
Test for IDOR vulnerability in the user lookup endpointSend a POST request to /backend/api/buscarUsuarioId.php with an id_user parameter value different from your authenticated user ID. Compare your installed version to the affected ranges. Use an HTTP proxy or curl to inspect whether the API returns user data for the specified id_user without validating your session permissions.Affected if The API returns user information for an id_user that does not belong to the authenticated session without authorization errors
A user is affected if they are running Canaldenuncia Canaldenuncia.app version lower than 4.4.8 and the /backend/api/buscarUsuarioId.php endpoint returns other users' data without proper authorization validation.

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 · scoped4.4.8
Implement proper authorization checks to verify the requesting user has permission to access the requested user data, typically by validating the session or token against the requested id_user parameter.
4.4.8 or later
- 1. Back up the current CanalDenuncia.app installation and database before making any changes
- 2. Obtain the CanalDenuncia.app version 4.4.8 or later from the official vendor
- 3. Follow the vendor's documented upgrade procedure to update the application
- 4. Verify that the '/backend/api/buscarUsuarioId.php' endpoint now properly enforces authorization checks
- 5. Test that users can only access their own information and not other users' data via the 'id_user' parameter
- 6. Confirm the application is functioning normally after the upgrade
