CVE-2026-25876
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 · uneditedPlaciPy is a placement management system designed for educational institutions. In version 1.0.0, the backend/src/routes/results.routes.ts verify authentication but fails to enforce object-level authorization (ownership checks). For example, this can be used to return all results for an assessment.
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 · high confidencePlaciPy 1.0.0 contains an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability in backend/src/routes/results.routes.ts. The routes properly authenticate users but fail to perform object-level authorization checks, allowing any authenticated user to access results for any assessment by manipulating object identifiers.

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 PlaciPy installation versionCheck the installed package version via package.json, npm list, or pip list depending on installation method. Look for placipy or prasklatechnology-placipy with version 1.0.0Affected if Version is exactly 1.0.0
-
Locate vulnerable route fileSearch for the file backend/src/routes/results.routes.ts in the application installation directoryAffected if File exists at this path in the PlaciPy installation
-
Inspect results.routes.ts for authorization logicOpen results.routes.ts and examine all endpoint handlers that return result data. Look for code that retrieves results by assessment ID or similar object identifier without verifying user ownershipAffected if Code retrieves and returns result data using object identifiers without checking if the authenticated user owns or has permission to access those results
-
Verify authentication exists but authorization is missingConfirm the routes import/use authentication middleware (e.g., authGuard, verifyToken) but lack subsequent authorization checks (e.g., checkResultOwnership, validateUserAccess) before returning dataAffected if Routes authenticate users but perform no object-level permission checks before returning result records
-
Test API endpoint behaviorIf possible, authenticate as one user, then attempt to access results for an assessment belonging to a different user by manipulating the assessment ID parameter in API requests to /results/:id or similar endpointsAffected if Requesting results for another user's assessment succeeds without proper authorization error
User is affected if running PlaciPy 1.0.0 with the vulnerable results.routes.ts file that authenticates users but fails to verify ownership before returning result data.

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 ownership/permission checks in results.routes.ts to verify the authenticated user is authorized to access the specific result records before returning data. Validate that the requesting user owns or has permission to view the requested results.
