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
Official Document Management System developed by 2100 Technology has a Incorrect Authorization vulnerability, allowing authenticated remote attackers to modify front-end code to read all official documents.

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 Official Document Management System by 2100 Technology contains an Incorrect Authorization vulnerability. Authenticated remote attackers can modify front-end code to bypass access controls and read all official documents stored in the system.

MitigationImplement proper server-side authorization checks for all document access operations and prevent unauthorized front-end code modifications that could bypass access controls.

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. Confirm the 2100 Technology Document Management System is installed
    Identify the application by checking the web interface banner, footer, or system information page for 'Official Document Management System' by '2100 Technology'. Check HTTP response headers or application metadata files if accessible.
    Affected if The system is the Official Document Management System by 2100 Technology and no compensating authorization controls are in place.
  2. Verify if authenticated users can modify front-end code
    Log in as a standard authenticated user and attempt to access any front-end code editing, customization, or template modification features. Check for presence of a 'theme editor', 'template manager', 'front-end customization', or 'HTML editor' module accessible to non-admin users.
    Affected if Authenticated users have the ability to modify front-end code, templates, or HTML content in the system.
  3. Check for missing server-side document authorization
    As an authenticated user with limited permissions, attempt to access document IDs or paths outside your assigned scope by manipulating URL parameters, API endpoints, or request payloads. Compare if the server returns documents that should be restricted based on your user role.
    Affected if Documents are returned without proper server-side authorization checks based on user role or document ownership.
  4. Inspect access control configuration
    Review the system's access control or permission configuration files (if accessible) to verify that document retrieval operations include server-side role-based authorization logic rather than relying on front-end hiding or client-side checks.
    Affected if The system relies on front-end code or client-side checks for document access control instead of server-side validation.

A user is affected if they run the 2100 Technology Official Document Management System and authenticated users can modify front-end code or bypass document access controls through client-side manipulation.
