CVE-2025-69634
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 · uneditedCross Site Request Forgery vulnerability in Dolibarr ERP & CRM v.22.0.9 allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges via the notes field in perms.php NOTE: this is disputed by a third party who indicates that exploitation can only occur if an unprivileged user knows the token of an admin user.
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 confidenceCSRF vulnerability in Dolibarr ERP CRM v22.0.9 allows privilege escalation via the notes field in perms.php. The attacker tricks an authenticated admin into submitting a malicious request. A third party disputes easy exploitation, claiming it requires knowledge of an admin user's token.

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 Dolibarr ERP CRM versionAccess the Dolibarr administration panel or check the version file (typically version.php or info.php in the root directory). Alternatively, check the login page footer which often displays the version number.Affected if The installed version is v22.0.9 or falls within the affected range around this release.
-
Locate the perms.php fileSearch for the perms.php file in the Dolibarr installation directory, typically found under htdocs/admin/ or similar admin paths.Affected if The perms.php file exists in the Dolibarr installation and is accessible to administrators.
-
Verify if CSRF token validation exists in perms.phpOpen perms.php and search for CSRF token validation logic, such as checking for a token parameter, validating a session token, or calling any anti-CSRF validation functions.Affected if No token validation or anti-CSRF mechanism is found in perms.php, meaning the file is vulnerable to CSRF attacks.
-
Confirm admin user authentication is requiredVerify that accessing perms.php requires an authenticated administrator session by attempting to access the file without authentication or reviewing the access control code.Affected if The perms.php endpoint accepts requests from authenticated admin users without additional CSRF protection.
A user is affected if they run Dolibarr version v22.0.9 (or an affected version) with the perms.php file present and lacking proper CSRF token validation.

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 anti-CSRF tokens (synchronizer token pattern) in perms.php and validate Origin/Referer headers to prevent cross-site request forgery attacks.
