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
Missing Authorization vulnerability in Arraytics Booktics allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels. This issue affects Booktics: from n/a through 1.0.16.

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

Missing authorization vulnerability in Arraytics Booktics allows attackers to access resources or perform actions without proper authentication due to incorrectly configured access control security levels. This affects all versions up to 1.0.16. The vulnerability has a CVSS 5.3 indicating moderate severity.

MitigationImplement proper authorization checks on all sensitive endpoints and functions, ensuring access control security levels are correctly configured according to the principle of least privilege.

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. Verify Booktics is installed
    Check for Booktics installation by looking for its main application files (e.g., booktics.php, booktics/index.php, or the Booktics directory in your web root or plugins folder). Access your website admin panel to confirm Booktics appears in the list of installed plugins or applications.
    Affected if Booktics is installed and active on the system
  2. Determine installed Booktics version
    Locate the version identifier in the main Booktics file (typically in the plugin header, README, or version.php file within the Booktics directory). Compare this version number against any known version releases of Booktics.
    Affected if The installed version is any release that contains the vulnerable access control logic
  3. Identify access control security level configuration
    Examine Booktics settings for access control or security level configurations. Look for options labeled as security levels, access control, user roles, permission settings, or similar terms in the Booktics admin interface or configuration files.
    Affected if Security level settings exist and are set to a permissive or misconfigured value (e.g., no role restrictions, public access enabled for admin functions)
  4. Test sensitive endpoints for unauthorized access
    Attempt to access Booktics administrative functions, data export features, or user management endpoints directly via URL without authenticating or with a low-privilege account. Common paths include /admin, /settings, /users, /export, or API endpoints within the Booktics module.
    Affected if Sensitive functionality is accessible without proper authorization or role verification

If Booktics is installed with any access control configuration that permits unauthorized users to access sensitive functions or resources, the environment is affected by this vulnerability.
