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
IDOR vulnerability in Educare ERP 1.0 (2025-04-22) allows unauthorized access to sensitive data via manipulated object references. Affected endpoints do not enforce proper authorization checks, allowing authenticated users to access or modify data belonging to other users by changing object identifiers in API requests. Attackers can exploit this flaw to view or modify sensitive records without proper authorization.

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

IDOR vulnerability in Educare ERP 1.0 allows authenticated users to access or modify data belonging to other users by manipulating object identifiers (such as record IDs) in API requests. Affected endpoints fail to validate that the requesting user has permission to access the specific object, enabling unauthorized cross-user data access.

MitigationImplement proper authorization checks on all API endpoints to verify that the authenticated user has permission to access or modify the specific object before returning or altering data. Use indirect object references and enforce ownership validation.

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. Confirm Educare ERP installation and version
    Locate the Educare ERP installation directory or check the application startup/version information. Look for files like version.php, about.php, or check the database for version records.
    Affected if The installed version is Educare ERP 1.0 exactly, as the affected version range is limited to this version.
  2. Identify API endpoints in the application
    Search the Educare ERP source code for API-related directories or files (e.g., /api/, api.php, endpoints, routes). Also check for AJAX handlers used for data operations.
    Affected if API endpoints exist and are accessible to authenticated users.
  3. Verify authentication is required for API access
    Attempt to access identified API endpoints without providing credentials, or examine the code to see if authentication checks are performed before processing requests.
    Affected if API endpoints require authentication but do not perform object-level authorization checks.
  4. Examine API parameter handling for object identifiers
    Review the API code to identify parameters that accept record IDs, user IDs, or other object references (e.g., ?id=123, ?user_id=456). Check if these IDs are used directly in database queries without ownership validation.
    Affected if API endpoints accept object identifiers as parameters and use them in queries without verifying the requesting user owns or has permission to access that object.
  5. Check for authorization logic in data retrieval functions
    Search the codebase for authorization or ownership validation functions that should be called before returning user data. Look for patterns like 'WHERE user_id = current_user' in SQL queries within API handlers.
    Affected if Data retrieval queries lack user-specific WHERE clauses or permission checks, allowing cross-user data access by manipulating IDs.

A user is affected if they have Educare ERP 1.0 running with accessible API endpoints that accept object identifiers without validating that the authenticated user owns or has permission to access the requested data.
