CVE-2025-57991
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 · uneditedMissing Authorization vulnerability in Clariti Clariti clariti allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Clariti: from n/a through <= 1.2.1.
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 confidenceThis is a missing authorization vulnerability in Clariti where access control security levels are incorrectly configured, allowing users to access resources or perform actions beyond their intended permission level. The medium severity (5.4) suggests the exploit requires some context or limited access but does not result in complete compromise of the system.

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 Clariti installation and versionLocate the Clariti application and determine its installed version number by checking the application metadata, about page, or system information fileAffected if The installed version of Clariti is lower than the fixed version (if known) or if the version cannot be determined and the application is in use
-
Review access control security level configurationNavigate to Clariti's administrative settings and inspect the security level or access control configuration panel to verify how permissions are definedAffected if Security levels are set to allow elevated access or if there is no visible enforcement of role-based restrictions
-
Examine user role definitionsAccess the user management or role management section and list all defined roles along with their assigned permissionsAffected if Roles exist that grant broader permissions than intended or if role definitions appear misconfigured
-
Test cross-privilege accessLog in with a lower-privileged user account and attempt to access resources, functions, or data that should be restricted to higher-privilege usersAffected if A user with limited permissions can successfully access resources or perform actions beyond their assigned role
-
Audit sensitive endpoint configurationsIf authorization logic appears missing or disabled on sensitive endpoints, the vulnerability may be present
A user is affected if they are running a vulnerable version of Clariti where access control security levels allow users to access resources or perform actions beyond their intended permission level.

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 authorization checks on all sensitive endpoints and functions, ensuring that access control security levels are correctly enforced based on user roles and permissions.
