CVE-2025-46576
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 · uneditedThere is a Permission Management and Access Control vulnerability in the GoldenDB database product. Attackers can manipulate requests to bypass privilege restrictions and delete content.
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 confidenceGoldenDB database contains an access control bypass where attackers can manipulate requests to circumvent privilege restrictions, enabling unauthorized deletion of content. The vulnerability resides in the permission management subsystem where privilege checks can be evaded through crafted request manipulation.

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 if GoldenDB is installedQuery the system or database metadata to confirm the presence of Zte Zxcloud Goldendb database softwareAffected if GoldenDB is not installed on the system
-
Determine the installed GoldenDB versionUse the database's version command, query system tables, or check product documentation to retrieve the current installed version numberAffected if The installed version matches 6.1.03.09, 6.1.03.10, or 7.2.01.01 exactly
-
Verify permission management configurationInspect the permission management subsystem settings or privilege configuration files as documented for your GoldenDB installationAffected if Privilege checks rely on the affected permission management subsystem that permits request manipulation
-
Test delete operation privilege enforcementAttempt a controlled, authorized delete operation through the standard API or interface, then compare against the expected privilege validation behaviorAffected if The system allows delete operations to proceed without proper privilege validation when requests are manipulated
You are affected if GoldenDB version 6.1.03.09, 6.1.03.10, or 7.2.01.01 is installed and the permission management subsystem can be bypassed through request manipulation for delete operations.

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.
From vendor dataImplement rigorous, consistent authorization validation at all database operation entry points, especially for delete operations. Ensure privilege checks cannot be bypassed through request manipulation and validate user permissions against the specific resource and operation before execution.
