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
The e-School from Ventem has a Missing Authorization vulnerability, allowing remote attackers with regular privilege to access administrator functions, including creating, modifying, and deleting accounts. They can even escalate any account to system administrator privilege.

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

The e-School application from Ventem contains a Missing Authorization vulnerability (broken access control) where regular user accounts can access administrative functions without proper privilege verification. Attackers with standard user credentials can create, modify, and delete accounts, and escalate any account to system administrator privileges.

MitigationImplement and enforce proper role-based access control (RBAC) checks on all sensitive endpoints, particularly account management functions. Verify user privileges before allowing account creation, modification, deletion, or privilege escalation operations.

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 user role configuration
    Examine how user roles are stored and managed in the application database or configuration files. Determine if there is a distinction between regular users and administrators.
    Affected if Users can be assigned roles directly without admin-level authorization checks
  2. Test account creation as regular user
    Log in with a standard user account and attempt to create a new user account through the application interface or API endpoints.
    Affected if The creation request succeeds without returning an authorization error
  3. Test account modification as regular user
    Log in with a standard user account and attempt to modify an existing user account (such as changing email or other profile details).
    Affected if The modification request succeeds without returning an authorization error
  4. Test account deletion as regular user
    Log in with a standard user account and attempt to delete another user account through the application.
    Affected if The deletion request succeeds without returning an authorization error
  5. Test privilege escalation capability
    Log in with a standard user account and attempt to escalate any account (including their own) to system administrator privileges.
    Affected if The privilege escalation request succeeds and the account gains administrator access

A regular (non-administrator) user account can perform account creation, modification, deletion, or privilege escalation operations without receiving an authorization error, indicating the missing authorization vulnerability is present.

Mitigation

Implement and enforce proper role-based access control (RBAC) checks on all sensitive endpoints, particularly account management functions. Verify user privileges before allowing account creation, modification, deletion, or privilege escalation operations.
