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
ProjeQtor versions 7.0 through 12.4.3 contain a missing authorization vulnerability in the objectDetail.php endpoint that allows authenticated users with guest-level privileges to retrieve sensitive data belonging to other users including password hashes and API keys. Attackers can bypass access controls by directly accessing the endpoint without ownership or role-based validation to extract administrator credentials and perform privilege escalation.

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 confidence

ProjeQtor versions 7.0 through 12.4.3 have a missing authorization check in the objectDetail.php endpoint that allows authenticated guest-level users to bypass access controls and retrieve sensitive data belonging to other users, including password hashes and API keys, enabling privilege escalation to administrator credentials.

MitigationImplement proper ownership and role-based validation in objectDetail.php to ensure users can only access data they are authorized to view, with explicit denial of guest access to sensitive credential data.

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 installed ProjeQtor version
    Log into the ProjeQtor admin interface and navigate to Administration > System > About, or check the version displayed on the login page footer. Alternatively, inspect the version parameter in the config file 'configFile.php' or the 'version.php' file in the root directory.
    Affected if The installed version falls within the range 7.0 to 12.4.3 (inclusive).
  2. Verify objectDetail.php endpoint exists
    Locate the file 'objectDetail.php' in the web root directory of the ProjeQtor installation. Check if the file exists and contains the vulnerable code handling sensitive data retrieval.
    Affected if The file exists in the web-accessible directory.
  3. Check if guest or low-privilege authentication is enabled
    Log into ProjeQtor as a guest or basic-level user account (or create one if needed for testing). Verify that the account has only guest-level permissions and can log in successfully.
    Affected if Guest or basic user authentication is enabled and functional.
  4. Test unauthorized access to other user credentials
    Using an authenticated guest-level session, send a crafted request to objectDetail.php requesting data from another user's profile (such as password hashes or API keys). Observe if the endpoint returns sensitive credential information without proper authorization validation.
    Affected if The endpoint returns sensitive data (password hashes, API keys) belonging to other users without proper authorization checks.

A ProjeQtor instance is affected if it runs version 7.0 through 12.4.3, has the objectDetail.php endpoint accessible, and permits guest-level authenticated users to retrieve sensitive credential data from other user accounts.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Implement proper ownership and role-based validation in objectDetail.php to ensure users can only access data they are authorized to view, with explicit denial of guest access to sensitive credential data.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

ProjeQtor version greater than 12.4.3 (contact vendor for exact patched version)

  1. 1. Identify the currently installed ProjeQtor version by checking the version file or admin interface
  2. 2. Confirm the installation falls within versions 7.0 through 12.4.3 which are affected by CVE-2026-41464
  3. 3. Contact ProjeQtor directly or check their official release notes/security advisories at www.projeqtor.com for the patched version
  4. 4. Backup the current ProjeQtor installation and database before upgrading
  5. 5. Upgrade to the latest stable ProjeQtor release that includes the fix for this authorization bypass vulnerability in objectDetail.php
  6. 6. After upgrade, verify that guest-level users can no longer access other users' sensitive data including password hashes and API keys
  7. 7. Consider resetting all user passwords and API keys as a precaution given the sensitivity of exposed credentials
