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
A vulnerability was found in Weitong Mall 1.0.0. It has been classified as critical. This affects an unknown part of the component Sale Endpoint. The manipulation of the argument ID leads to improper authorization. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.

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

A broken access control vulnerability in Weitong Mall 1.0.0 allows remote attackers to manipulate the ID parameter in the Sale Endpoint to access or modify sales data without proper authorization. This is a classic Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) where the application fails to verify that the requesting user has permission to access the specific resource identified by the ID.

MitigationImplement robust authorization checks on all Sale Endpoint operations to verify user permissions before returning or modifying any sales data identified by the ID parameter. Additionally, enforce indirect object references and validate session context.

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. Confirm Weitong Mall installation
    Identify if the Weitong Mall web application is present in your environment. This may involve checking web server directories, scanning for application banners, or reviewing deployed application inventory.
    Affected if Weitong Mall is not installed or the application name/version is different.
  2. Determine installed version
    Locate and record the exact version of Weitong Mall that is deployed. Compare your installed version against the affected version 1.0.0. Use application banners, version files, or API responses that expose version information.
    Affected if The installed version is 1.0.0.
  3. Locate the Sale Endpoint
    Identify the sales-related endpoint in the Weitong Mall application. This is the API path or web page that handles sales data operations (create, read, update, delete sales records). Look for endpoints that accept an ID parameter to reference sales records.
    Affected if The Sale Endpoint exists and is accessible in the application.
  4. Test authorization on Sale Endpoint
    Attempt to access or modify sales records by manipulating the ID parameter in requests to the Sale Endpoint. Use different ID values to see if the application returns or modifies sales data without verifying that the requesting user owns or has permission to access that specific record.
    Affected if The application returns or modifies sales data for arbitrary ID values without proper authorization checks.

You are affected if Weitong Mall version 1.0.0 is installed and the Sale Endpoint allows access or modification of sales data through manipulated ID parameters without verifying user permissions.
