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 Netro Systems Make My Trivia trivialy allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Make My Trivia: from n/a through <= 1.1.0.

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

Missing authorization vulnerability in Netro Systems Make My Trivia allows attackers to exploit incorrectly configured access control security levels, potentially enabling unauthorized access to sensitive functionality or data due to improper access control implementation.

MitigationImplement proper authorization checks across all application endpoints and functions, ensuring that the access control security levels are correctly configured and enforced for all user roles.

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 Make My Trivia version
    Locate the installed version of Make My Trivia in your application (check admin panel, footer, or version file in the web root)
    Affected if The installed version is 1.1.0 or any version below 1.1.0
  2. Identify sensitive endpoints
    Map all application endpoints that should require authentication or elevated privileges (admin panels, user data endpoints, trivia management functions, score/submission APIs)
    Affected if Endpoints exist that handle sensitive data or privileged operations without clear authorization requirements in the code
  3. Test for authorization bypass
    Send unauthenticated or low-privilege requests to sensitive endpoints and observe if the application returns expected data or allows privileged actions
    Affected if Unauthenticated or unauthorized users can access functionality that should require login or elevated permissions
  4. Review access control configuration
    Inspect application configuration files and code for role-based access control (RBAC) implementation or permission validation logic
    Affected if No RBAC or permission checks are found, or checks are missing on sensitive functions
  5. Check for privilege escalation paths
    Attempt to modify own user role/privilege level or access other user data without proper authorization
    Affected if Users can elevate their own privileges or access other users data without proper authorization checks

Your environment is affected if Make My Trivia version is 1.1.0 or lower AND sensitive endpoints lack proper authorization enforcement, allowing unauthenticated or unauthorized access to privileged functionality.
