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
GoJobs is a REST API for a Job Board platform. The application exposes a job retrieval endpoint that allows unauthenticated users to access job details by directly manipulating object identifiers. The endpoint lacks proper authentication and authorization checks, resulting in unauthorized access to job data.

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

GoJobs REST API job retrieval endpoint suffers from an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability. The endpoint accepts object identifiers (likely job IDs in the URL path or parameters) without verifying the requesting user's identity or authorization, allowing any unauthenticated attacker to access sensitive job data by manipulating these identifiers.

MitigationImplement proper authentication and authorization checks on the job retrieval endpoint to verify the requesting user has legitimate access to the requested job resource before returning any 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 if GoJobs REST API is deployed
    Check your web server logs, application inventory, or running services for instances of GoJobs REST API. Look for endpoints that serve job-related functionality.
    Affected if GoJobs REST API is running and accessible on your network.
  2. Locate the job retrieval endpoint
    Review your API documentation or perform path discovery (e.g., common paths like /api/jobs, /jobs/{id}, /job/{id}, /api/v1/jobs) to identify the job retrieval endpoint.
    Affected if A job retrieval endpoint exists and accepts identifiers in the URL path or query parameters.
  3. Test unauthenticated access to job data
    Send an HTTP GET request to the job retrieval endpoint with a job ID (e.g., /api/jobs/1) without including any authentication headers, tokens, or cookies.
    Affected if The endpoint returns job data without requiring any authentication credentials.
  4. Verify lack of authorization checks
    Send requests with different job IDs (sequential or random) to the endpoint without authentication. Compare if each request returns the corresponding job data.
    Affected if Different job IDs return different sensitive job data without any ownership or permission verification.
  5. Inspect API configuration for authentication settings
    Check the API configuration files, middleware settings, or authentication middleware code to see if the job retrieval endpoint is explicitly protected with authorization logic.
    Affected if No authorization or ownership verification logic is configured for the job retrieval endpoint.

Your environment is affected if GoJobs REST API job retrieval endpoint returns job data to unauthenticated users without verifying their authorization to access that specific job resource.
