CVE-2025-48695
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 · uneditedAn issue was discovered in CyberDAVA before 1.1.20. A privilege escalation vulnerability allows a low-privileged user to escalate their privilege by abusing the following API due to the lack of access control: /api/v2/users/user/<user id>/role/ROLE/<Target role> (admin access can be achieved).
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 confidenceCyberDAVA before version 1.1.20 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability where the API endpoint /api/v2/users/user/<user id>/role/ROLE/<Target role> lacks proper access control validation. This allows any authenticated user, including low-privileged users, to modify role assignments for themselves or other users, enabling escalation to admin privileges.

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 CyberDAVA is installedLocate CyberDAVA installation directory or check for cyberdava process running. Common locations include /opt/cyberdava, /usr/local/cyberdava, or check system processes for cyberdava daemon.Affected if CyberDAVA software is present in the environment
-
Determine installed CyberDAVA versionCheck version file in installation directory (version.txt, VERSION) or run: cyberdava --version or cyberdava -v. Compare against 1.1.20.Affected if Installed version is before 1.1.20 (e.g., 1.1.19, 1.1.18, 1.0.x, etc.)
-
Verify API endpoint is accessibleAttempt to access or probe the endpoint /api/v2/users/user/<user id>/role/ROLE/<Target role> using curl or similar tool with valid authentication credentials.Affected if API endpoint responds and accepts requests from authenticated users
-
Check for low-privileged user accountsList all CyberDAVA users and their current role assignments through the user management interface or API to identify accounts with non-admin roles.Affected if At least one non-admin authenticated user exists who could exploit the vulnerability to escalate privileges
A user is affected if CyberDAVA version is before 1.1.20 AND the vulnerable API endpoint is accessible to authenticated non-admin users.

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 · scopedUpgrade CyberDAVA to version 1.1.20 or later which implements proper role-based access control validation on the user role modification API endpoint.
CyberDAVA 1.1.20 or later
- Upgrade CyberDAVA to version 1.1.20 or later to resolve the privilege escalation vulnerability
