CVE-2025-57266
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 file AssistantController.java in ThriveX Blogging Framework 2.5.9 thru 3.1.3 allowing unauthenticated attackers to gain sensitive information such as API Keys via the /api/assistant/list endpoint.
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 confidenceAn information disclosure vulnerability in ThriveX Blogging Framework allows unauthenticated attackers to access the /api/assistant/list endpoint in AssistantController.java, which exposes sensitive information including API keys. The lack of authentication or authorization checks on this endpoint enables remote attackers to retrieve this sensitive data without any credentials.

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 ThriveX Blogging Framework installationLocate the application files and identify the installed version of ThriveX. Check for AssistantController.java in the codebase and note the framework version from deployment artifacts or configuration files.Affected if ThriveX Blogging Framework is installed and the version is unknown or falls within any affected range.
-
Verify /api/assistant/list endpoint existsCheck the application's routes or AssistantController.java to confirm the /api/assistant/list endpoint is defined and deployed.Affected if The /api/assistant/list endpoint exists in the deployed application.
-
Test endpoint accessibility without authenticationSend an HTTP GET request to https://[target]/api/assistant/list (or the appropriate base path) without providing any authentication tokens, headers, or credentials.Affected if The endpoint returns an HTTP 200 response without requiring authentication.
-
Inspect response for sensitive data exposureExamine the HTTP response body from the unauthenticated request to the /api/assistant/list endpoint. Look for any API keys, tokens, secrets, or other credential-like strings in the JSON or other format returned.Affected if The response contains API keys, tokens, secrets, or other sensitive credentials.
-
Review endpoint authorization configurationInspect the AssistantController.java source code or the application's security configuration to verify whether any @Auth, @PreAuthorize, or similar authorization annotations are present on the list method.Affected if No authentication or authorization checks are implemented on the /api/assistant/list endpoint.
If the /api/assistant/list endpoint is accessible without authentication and returns sensitive information such as API keys, the environment is affected by this CVE.

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 proper authentication and authorization checks on the /api/assistant/list endpoint to ensure only authorized users can access it, and remove or encrypt sensitive data such as API keys from being returned through API responses.
