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
A vulnerability was identified in doramart DoraCMS 3.0.x. This issue affects some unknown processing of the file /api/v1/mail/send of the component Email API. Such manipulation leads to improper authentication. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit is publicly available and might be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

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

The vulnerability is an authentication bypass in the DoraCMS 3.0.x mail API endpoint (/api/v1/mail/send). The email API component fails to properly authenticate requests, allowing remote attackers to send emails without authorization. A publicly available exploit increases the likelihood of active targeting.

MitigationImplement proper authentication and authorization checks on the /api/v1/mail/send endpoint to ensure only authenticated and authorized users can send emails. Consider adding rate limiting and input validation as defense-in-depth measures.

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 DoraCMS installation
    Locate the DoraCMS application by checking for package.json with doracms dependency, or the presence of app directory structure (views, routes, controllers folders) in the web root
    Affected if DoraCMS or Html Js Doracms is present on the system
  2. Verify mail API route exists
    Examine the routes configuration files (typically in /routes or the main app.js) for the /api/v1/mail/send endpoint definition
    Affected if The /api/v1/mail/send route is defined in the application routes
  3. Check route authentication middleware
    Inspect the route handler for /api/v1/mail/send to determine if any authentication middleware (such as passport, session checks, or token validation) is applied before the mail sending logic
    Affected if No authentication middleware is attached to the mail send route, or the middleware is conditionally bypassed
  4. Test endpoint without credentials
    Send a curl or similar HTTP request to the /api/v1/mail/send endpoint with no authorization headers, cookies, or tokens
    Affected if The endpoint accepts and processes the request without returning an authentication error (401/403)
  5. Review API route registration order
    Check the main routes file to see how the mail endpoint is registered relative to any global authentication middleware - specific routes registered before global middleware may bypass auth
    Affected if The mail send route is registered before or outside the global auth middleware chain

If DoraCMS is present and the /api/v1/mail/send endpoint processes requests without requiring valid authentication credentials, the environment is affected by this CVE.
