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

Missing Authorization vulnerability in Zoho CRM Lead Magnet (zoho-crm-forms) allows exploiting incorrectly configured access control security levels. The application fails to properly enforce authorization checks, potentially allowing authenticated or unauthenticated users to access resources or perform actions outside their intended permission boundaries.

MitigationReview and correct access control configurations in the Lead Magnet forms module to enforce proper authorization checks for all operations and resources.

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 Lead Magnet module is enabled
    Navigate to Zoho CRM Settings > Lead Magnet (or zoho-crm-forms module) and verify whether the Lead Magnet feature is active and has forms configured
    Affected if The Lead Magnet module is enabled and contains active forms with access control configurations
  2. Review Lead Magnet form-level access controls
    Access Lead Magnet > Forms > Select each form > Check Security/Access Settings to verify which users/roles have create, edit, view, or delete permissions
    Affected if Permissions are assigned too broadly (e.g., all users, public, or unauthenticated access) or roles have permissions beyond their intended scope
  3. Inspect workflow and field-level security permissions
    Within Lead Magnet settings, examine field-level access restrictions and automation workflows to confirm users cannot bypass authorization through form submissions or data access
    Affected if Field-level restrictions are missing or automation workflows execute actions without proper role validation
  4. Verify user role assignments to Lead Magnet forms
    Check CRM Users/Resources > Roles and Profiles > Review which profiles have Lead Magnet access and compare against least-privilege expectations
    Affected if Standard users, delegates, or unauthenticated portal users have elevated access to form data or submission management
  5. Audit form submission and data export capabilities
    Test or review whether users can access submissions from forms they should not own, or export data beyond their permitted scope using Lead Magnet export features
    Affected if Users can view, modify, or export form submissions belonging to other users or roles

A user is affected if the Lead Magnet (zoho-crm-forms) module is enabled and its access control or security level configurations permit users to perform actions or access resources outside their intended permission boundaries.
