CVE-2026-3321
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 · uneditedA vulnerability of authorization bypass through user-controlled key in the 'console-survey/api/v1/answer/{EVENTID}/{TIMESTAMP}/' endpoint. Exploiting this vulnerability would allow an unauthenticated attacker to enumerate event IDs and obtain the complete Q&A history. This publicly exposed data may include IDs, private URLs, private messages, internal references, or other sensitive information that should only be exposed to authenticated users. In addition, the leaked content could be exploited to facilitate other malicious activities, such as reconnaissance for lateral movement, exploitation of related systems, or unauthorised access to internal applications referenced in the content of chat messages.
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 confidenceThis is an IDOR (Insecure Direct Object Reference) authorization bypass vulnerability in the console-survey API endpoint at '/console-survey/api/v1/answer/{EVENTID}/{TIMESTAMP}/'. The endpoint fails to properly validate user authorization before returning Q&A history data, allowing any unauthenticated attacker to access sensitive survey responses by manipulating event ID values.

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 if console-survey component is deployedReview application architecture documentation or scan for '/console-survey' path in web server configurations and deployed web applicationsAffected if The console-survey API component is present in the environment
-
Verify the vulnerable endpoint existsTest for the presence of '/console-survey/api/v1/answer/' endpoint by sending a GET request with any placeholder values for EVENTID and TIMESTAMP (e.g., /console-survey/api/v1/answer/test/1234567890/)Affected if The endpoint responds with HTTP 200 or other valid responses (not 404)
-
Confirm authorization bypass existsSend unauthenticated HTTP GET requests to the endpoint with different EVENTID values and observe if Q&A history data is returned without requiring login credentials or session tokensAffected if The endpoint returns survey response data without any authentication token or session validation
-
Check for improper event ID validationAttempt to access multiple different EVENTID values without authentication and verify that the system returns data for various events without checking user permissionsAffected if Different EVENTID values return corresponding survey data without authorization checks
-
Verify sensitive data exposureAnalyze responses from the endpoint to confirm Q&A history containing potentially sensitive survey responses is accessible to unauthenticated usersAffected if The API returns actual survey question and answer content without verifying the requester has permission to view that data
The environment is affected if the console-survey API endpoint at '/console-survey/api/v1/answer/{EVENTID}/{TIMESTAMP}/' is accessible and returns Q&A history data to unauthenticated users without performing authorization validation.

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 authentication and authorization checks on the affected endpoint to ensure only authenticated users with valid permissions can access Q&A history data. Consider implementing rate limiting to prevent enumeration attacks.
