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
Incorrect Privilege Assignment vulnerability in uxper Golo golo allows Privilege Escalation.This issue affects Golo: from n/a through <= 1.7.0.

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

Incorrect Privilege Assignment vulnerability in the uxper Golo framework allows unprivileged users to gain elevated privileges. The vulnerability stems from improper authorization controls that fail to properly validate or enforce user role permissions.

MitigationUpgrade to a version beyond 1.7.0 if available; otherwise, implement explicit role-based access control (RBAC) checks and validate all permission assignments throughout the application.

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 the installed version of the uxper Golo framework
    Locate the framework's version file, package.json, or version metadata typically found in the application's root directory or dependencies configuration
    Affected if The installed version is 1.7.0 or earlier, since the fix is available in versions beyond 1.7.0
  2. Review user role and permission configurations
    Examine configuration files, database tables, or code that defines user roles, particularly looking for any role assignment mechanisms that may accept unvalidated input
    Affected if Roles or permissions can be assigned or modified without proper administrative authorization checks
  3. Inspect the authorization middleware or access control logic
    Review the framework's authentication and authorization code paths, specifically any logic that handles role validation or permission checks for privileged operations
    Affected if The authorization logic lacks proper role validation or allows privilege escalation through missing or incomplete permission checks
  4. Check for custom permission assignment endpoints
    Audit any API endpoints, functions, or interfaces that handle user permission assignments or role modifications
    Affected if Unprivileged users can access or manipulate permission assignment functionality without proper authorization validation

You are affected if the uxper Golo framework version is 1.7.0 or earlier AND the application lacks proper role-based authorization controls, allowing unprivileged users to gain elevated privileges through permission assignment mechanisms.

Mitigation

Upgrade to a version beyond 1.7.0 if available; otherwise, implement explicit role-based access control (RBAC) checks and validate all permission assignments throughout the application.
