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
OpenRemote before 1.25.0 contains an insecure direct object reference (IDOR) vulnerability in the bulk alarm deletion endpoint that allows authenticated users to permanently delete alarms belonging to other tenants by supplying arbitrary alarm IDs. The removeAlarms() method in AlarmResourceImpl.java omits realm-scoping validation in its JPA query, enabling any user with alarm-write permissions to enumerate sequential auto-increment alarm IDs and delete cross-tenant alarm records without authorization.

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

OpenRemote before 1.25.0 has an IDOR vulnerability in the bulk alarm deletion endpoint. The removeAlarms() method in AlarmResourceImpl.java fails to include realm-scoping validation in its JPA query, allowing authenticated users with alarm-write permissions to delete alarms from other tenants by supplying arbitrary sequential auto-increment alarm IDs.

MitigationUpgrade to OpenRemote 1.25.0 or later which includes proper realm-scoping validation in the alarm deletion JPA query to enforce tenant isolation.

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 OpenRemote installation and version
    Locate the OpenRemote installation directory and check the version manifest or pom.xml file. Common locations include /opt/openremote or the application deployment directory. Look for version.txt, pom.xml, or the WAR file version.
    Affected if The installed version is before 1.25.0 (e.g., 1.24.x, 1.23.x, or any version prior to 1.25.0)
  2. Verify the AlarmResourceImpl.java component exists
    Locate the AlarmResourceImpl.java file in the deployed application source or decompiled classes. This file should exist in the Java source under the alarm resource package path.
    Affected if The vulnerable removeAlarms() method is present in the codebase and the application is running a version before 1.25.0
  3. Confirm REST API endpoints are exposed
    Check the OpenRemote deployment configuration to confirm the REST API is accessible. Verify that HTTP/HTTPS endpoints for alarm operations are enabled and reachable.
    Affected if The REST API endpoints are publicly or internally accessible without additional network restrictions
  4. Validate user authentication is enabled
    Review the OpenRemote security configuration to confirm user authentication is active. Check that users must authenticate to access alarm-related REST endpoints.
    Affected if Users can authenticate to the system and obtain session tokens for API access
  5. Audit alarm-write permission assignments
    Review user roles and permissions in the OpenRemote admin console or user database. Identify which authenticated users or service accounts have alarm-write permissions granted.
    Affected if Authenticated users possess alarm-write permissions, enabling them to access the vulnerable removeAlarms() endpoint

A user is affected if running OpenRemote version before 1.25.0 with exposed REST API, enabled authentication, and users granted alarm-write permissions that could exploit the realm-scoping gap in the removeAlarms() method.

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

Upgrade to OpenRemote 1.25.0 or later which includes proper realm-scoping validation in the alarm deletion JPA query to enforce tenant isolation.

Recommended fix High confidence

OpenRemote 1.25.0 or latest stable release

  1. 1. Backup your OpenRemote installation and database before proceeding with any changes.
  2. 2. Identify your current OpenRemote version by checking the deployment configuration or Docker image tag.
  3. 3. If running a version before 1.25.0, plan the upgrade to version 1.25.0 or later.
  4. 4. For Docker-based deployments: Update your docker-compose.yml or image reference to use the OpenRemote 1.25.0 image or the latest stable release.
  5. 5. For non-Docker deployments: Download and install OpenRemote version 1.25.0 or the latest stable release from the official repository.
  6. 6. Run database migrations if required by the upgrade process.
  7. 7. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the OpenRemote web interface and confirming the version number.
  8. 8. Test alarm creation and deletion functionality to ensure the realm-scoping fix is working correctly.
