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
LibreTime 3.0.0-alpha.10 and possibly earlier is vulnerable to Broken Access Control, where a user with the DJ role can access analytics data via the Web UI and direct API calls. The backend does not verify role-based permissions for analytics endpoints, allowing unauthorized retrieval of station-wide metrics. This results in information disclosure to less privileged users.

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 confidence

LibreTime 3.0.0-alpha.10 contains a Broken Access Control vulnerability where the backend fails to enforce role-based permissions on analytics endpoints. Users assigned the DJ role, which should only have broadcast permissions, can retrieve station-wide analytics data through the Web UI or direct API calls, resulting in unauthorized information disclosure.

MitigationImplement server-side authorization checks on all analytics endpoints to verify user role permissions before returning data. Restrict station-wide metrics to admin or manager roles only.

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 LibreTime version
    Check the version file or admin interface for the exact LibreTime version number
    Affected if Version is 3.0.0-alpha.10 or falls within the alpha.10 release cycle without subsequent access control patches
  2. Verify DJ role permissions configuration
    Access the user role management section in the admin panel and confirm DJ role is assigned only broadcast permissions
    Affected if DJ role exists and is intended to be restricted to broadcast-only access
  3. Test analytics endpoint access with DJ account
    Log in with a user assigned the DJ role and attempt to access analytics/dashboard endpoints via the Web UI or API (e.g., GET /api/analytics or /station/analytics)
    Affected if A DJ-role user can retrieve station-wide analytics data that should only be visible to admin or manager roles
  4. Review API response authorization headers
    Make an authenticated API call as a DJ user to analytics endpoints and inspect whether the server returns data without returning a 403 Forbidden or unauthorized error
    Affected if The server returns analytics data (200 OK) instead of rejecting the request based on role permissions
  5. Check authentication vs authorization enforcement
    Examine server logs or use a proxy to observe whether analytics requests from DJ accounts are validated for both authentication (logged in) and authorization (correct role)
    Affected if Requests are authenticated (user is logged in) but not authorized (role check is missing or bypassed) before returning analytics data

A user is affected if running LibreTime 3.0.0-alpha.10 where DJ-role accounts can access station-wide analytics through the Web UI or API without proper authorization checks.
