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 Heureka Group Heureka heureka allows accessing functionality not properly constrained by ACLs. The plugin fails to enforce proper access control checks, potentially allowing unauthorized users to perform privileged actions or access sensitive functionality that should be restricted.

MitigationImplement proper authorization checks and role-based access control (RBAC) constraints before executing privileged operations. Ensure all sensitive endpoints verify user permissions.

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. Verify Heureka plugin installation
    Check your CMS/plugin directory for the Heureka heureka plugin files, or list installed plugins through the platform's admin interface
    Affected if The Heureka plugin is present and active in the environment
  2. Identify installed plugin version
    Locate the plugin's main file (often version.php, plugin header, or readme.txt) and extract the version number
    Affected if The installed version falls within any affected version range (compare to vendor advisories)
  3. Check for sensitive endpoint exposure
    Inspect plugin routing/config to identify admin, API, or callback endpoints; attempt to access them with a low-privilege or unauthenticated user account
    Affected if Sensitive endpoints respond without requiring proper authorization or elevated privileges
  4. Review access control configuration
    Examine plugin settings files or admin panels for any role-based access control (RBAC) or permission-related options; verify if they are properly configured
    Affected if No authorization checks are enforced, or configuration allows unrestricted access to privileged functions
  5. Test unauthorized privileged actions
    Using a non-admin or unauthenticated session, attempt to trigger plugin functions that should require admin/elevated permissions (e.g., settings modification, data export)
    Affected if The action completes successfully without permission denial

If the Heureka plugin is installed and sensitive functionality remains accessible without proper authorization checks, the environment is affected by this vulnerability.
