CVE-2026-25462
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 · uneditedMissing Authorization vulnerability in avalex avalex avalex allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects avalex: from n/a through <= 3.1.3.
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 · low confidenceThis is a Missing Authorization (Broken Access Control) vulnerability in the avalex application affecting versions up to 3.1.3. The vulnerability stems from incorrectly configured access control security levels that fail to properly enforce authorization checks on certain functionality, potentially allowing authenticated users to access resources or perform actions beyond their intended privileges.

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.
-
Identify avalex installation and versionLocate the avalex application in your environment and determine the installed version number (e.g., check application metadata, version file, or about page). Compare this version against the affected range: versions up to 3.1.3 are vulnerable.Affected if The installed version of avalex is 3.1.3 or any earlier version.
-
Review access control security level configurationLocate and inspect the access control configuration files or settings within avalex. Look for security level definitions, privilege settings, or access control matrix configurations.Affected if The access control security levels are set to a level that does not enforce proper authorization checks, or are configured to allow privilege escalation.
-
Identify sensitive endpoints or functionsMap the application's sensitive endpoints, administrative functions, or privileged operations. Document which endpoints perform actions that should require elevated privileges.Affected if Certain endpoints or functions lack proper authorization enforcement mechanisms or allow access without sufficient privilege validation.
-
Verify authorization enforcement on sensitive operationsTest whether authenticated users can access or execute functions beyond their intended privilege level. Inspect code or configuration to confirm authorization checks are present and enforced on all sensitive operations.Affected if Authorization checks are missing, disabled, or improperly configured on sensitive endpoints, allowing users to exceed their assigned privileges.
-
Audit user role and privilege assignmentsReview how user roles are defined and assigned in the system. Check if the role-based access control (RBAC) model properly restricts users to their designated privilege levels.Affected if Users can be assigned or escalate to privileges beyond what their role should permit, or if privilege boundaries are not correctly enforced.
You are affected if avalex version 3.1.3 or earlier is installed AND the access control security levels are misconfigured to fail proper authorization enforcement on sensitive functionality.

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 on all sensitive endpoints and ensure access control security levels are correctly configured according to the principle of least privilege. Review and remediate the access control model to enforce proper privilege boundaries.
