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
A vulnerability was found in Feehi CMS up to 2.1.1. This vulnerability affects unknown code of the file /api/articles of the component REST API Endpoint. Performing a manipulation results in missing authentication. The attack may be initiated remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.

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

Authentication bypass vulnerability in Feehi CMS REST API endpoint /api/articles allows unauthenticated remote attackers to access API functionality that should require authentication. The vulnerability affects versions up to 2.1.1 and has publicly available exploits.

MitigationUntil an official patch is released, implement network-level access controls (firewall/allowlisting) to restrict access to the /api/articles endpoint, or deploy a reverse proxy with authentication enforcement in front of the API.

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 if Feehi CMS is installed
    Check your web server for Feehi CMS by looking for its typical installation directories or admin login pages at common paths like /admin or /index.php?r=admin
    Affected if Feehi CMS is present on the server
  2. Determine the installed Feehi CMS version
    Locate the version information in the CMS installation, typically found in a version file, composer.json, or the admin dashboard about page. Compare your version against the affected range (versions up to 2.1.1)
    Affected if The installed version is 2.1.1 or any earlier version
  3. Verify the REST API endpoint is exposed
    Check if your web server configuration allows access to the /api/articles path. Review your web server access logs for any requests to /api/articles
    Affected if The /api/articles endpoint is reachable from the network
  4. Test for unauthenticated API access
    Send an HTTP GET request to /api/articles (or /api/articles/index or similar) without providing any authentication credentials (no API key, token, or session cookie)
    Affected if The endpoint returns a successful response with data instead of rejecting the request with an authentication error (401 or 403)

You are affected if Feehi CMS version 2.1.1 or earlier is installed and the /api/articles endpoint returns API data without requiring authentication.

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.
