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 flaw has been found in SourceCodester Multi-Vendor Online Grocery Management System 1.0. Affected by this vulnerability is the function cancel_order of the file classes/Master.php. Executing a manipulation can lead to improper authorization. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit has been published and may be used.

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

SourceCodester Multi-Vendor Online Grocery Management System 1.0 contains an improper authorization vulnerability in the cancel_order function within classes/Master.php. The vulnerability allows remote attackers to manipulate the order cancellation functionality to cancel orders they should not have permission to access or modify, likely through insecure direct object reference (IDOR) via manipulated parameters.

MitigationImplement proper authorization checks in the cancel_order function to verify the requesting user owns or has legitimate permission to cancel the specific order being requested. Validate user identity and role-based access controls before allowing any order modification.

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 application and version
    Locate the SourceCodester Multi-Vendor Online Grocery Management System installation and determine if version 1.0 is in use. Check for version indicators in source files, README, or application metadata.
    Affected if The system is SourceCodester Multi-Vendor Online Grocery Management System version 1.0
  2. Locate the cancel_order function
    Inspect the file classes/Master.php and locate the cancel_order function definition. Verify the function exists in the codebase.
    Affected if The cancel_order function exists in classes/Master.php in version 1.0
  3. Review authorization logic in cancel_order
    Examine the cancel_order function code for user authentication and authorization checks before order cancellation. Look for session validation, user ID verification, or role checks.
    Affected if The cancel_order function lacks proper authorization checks validating the requesting user owns or has permission to cancel the specific order
  4. Check for IDOR vulnerability in order parameters
    Test the order cancellation flow by manipulating order_id or related parameters in requests. Compare whether the application validates that the authenticated user owns the order being modified.
    Affected if Order cancellation can be triggered with manipulated order IDs belonging to other users without proper ownership verification
  5. Audit other order modification functions
    Inspect other order-related functions in classes/Master.php for similar improper authorization patterns. Check if order_id parameters can be manipulated across different functions.
    Affected if Similar IDOR or improper authorization issues exist in other order modification functions within the same file

A user is affected if the system runs SourceCodester Multi-Vendor Online Grocery Management System 1.0 and the cancel_order function in classes/Master.php allows order cancellation without verifying user ownership of the order.
