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
Missing Authorization vulnerability in Majestic Support Majestic Support majestic-support allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Majestic Support: from n/a through <= 1.1.0.

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

Missing authorization vulnerability in Majestic Support allows attackers to exploit incorrectly configured access control security levels. The application fails to properly enforce authorization checks, potentially permitting unauthorized access to resources or functionality.

MitigationImplement and enforce proper authorization checks across all endpoints and functionality. Review and correct access control security level configurations to ensure users can only access resources they are explicitly authorized to access.

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 installed Majestic Support version
    Locate the application version in the software itself (typically in admin panel, about page, or version file)
    Affected if Version cannot be determined or is unpatched
  2. Review access control security level configuration
    Navigate to admin settings and examine security level or access control configuration files
    Affected if Security levels are set to permissive or misconfigured values allowing elevation
  3. Verify authorization enforcement on sensitive endpoints
    Attempt to access restricted functionality with a low-privilege user account
    Affected if Unauthorized access is granted to protected resources
  4. Inspect user role permission mappings
    Check the role-based access control (RBAC) settings in the administration panel
    Affected if Roles have permissions they should not possess
  5. Audit API or service endpoints for missing authorization checks
    Review endpoint configurations and test with unauthenticated or unauthorized requests
    Affected if Endpoints accept requests without proper authorization validation

User is affected if the installed Majestic Support version lacks proper authorization enforcement and security level configurations permit unauthorized access to restricted functionality.

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.
