CVE-2026-11369
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 · uneditedThe Comment API (GET /api/Comment and POST /api/Comment) in the affected application fails to perform authorization checks to verify that the requesting user has access to the object identified by the relatedObjectId. This Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability allows any authenticated user to read and write comments on any process across all business units by supplying an arbitrary object GUID.
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 confidenceThe Comment API endpoints (GET and POST /api/Comment) lack authorization validation on the relatedObjectId parameter, allowing any authenticated user to access or modify comments on any object in the system by supplying an arbitrary GUID. This IDOR vulnerability enables cross-business-unit data access to sensitive process comments.

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.
-
Confirm Comment API endpoints are accessibleSend a GET request to /api/Comment with a valid authentication token but using an arbitrary relatedObjectId GUID (e.g., a random UUID). Inspect the HTTP response code and whether any comment data is returned.Affected if The API returns a 200 OK response with comment data for an unrelated object's GUID without returning a 403 Forbidden or authorization error.
-
Test POST endpoint for unauthorized comment creationSend a POST request to /api/Comment with a valid auth token but a relatedObjectId GUID that does not belong to the authenticated user's business unit or accessible objects. Include a test comment payload.Affected if The API accepts the request and returns 201 Created, indicating comments can be written to objects the user should not have access to.
-
Verify authorization behavior differs from expectedCompare API responses when using a relatedObjectId for an object the user legitimately owns versus an object in a different business unit. Check if the responses are identical in authorization success.Affected if Both requests return successful comment data or allow comment creation, showing no object-level permission validation on the relatedObjectId parameter.
-
Check API documentation or source for authorization logicExamine the Comment API controller code or configuration files for authorization attributes on the relatedObjectId parameter, specifically looking for ObjectLevelPermission or similar custom authorization checks.Affected if No explicit authorization check exists that validates the user has access to the object referenced by relatedObjectId before processing the comment request.
A user is affected if the Comment API returns or accepts comments for arbitrary relatedObjectId GUIDs without enforcing object-level access controls, allowing cross-business-unit data exposure.

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 to verify the requesting user has access to the object referenced by relatedObjectId before allowing comment read/write operations, enforcing object-level permission validation.
