CVE-2026-7071
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 · uneditedA security vulnerability has been detected in CodeAstro Online Job Portal 1.0. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality of the file /users/user-cvs/. The manipulation leads to file and directory information exposure. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used.
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 confidenceCodeAstro Online Job Portal 1.0 contains a directory listing or path traversal vulnerability in the /users/user-cvs/ endpoint that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to enumerate and access sensitive files and directory structures, potentially exposing user CVs, personal information, or application configuration files.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm CodeAstro Online Job Portal 1.0 installationInspect the web application banner, footer, or source code for the application name and version 1.0. Check the main page and about section for 'CodeAstro Online Job Portal' branding.Affected if The application is CodeAstro Online Job Portal version 1.0
-
Check if /users/user-cvs/ endpoint is accessibleSend an HTTP GET request to http://[target]/users/user-cvs/ and examine the response for directory listing or file contents.Affected if The endpoint returns a 200 OK with a directory listing or file contents without authentication
-
Verify directory listing is enabledLook for directory index listings in the /users/ or /users/user-cvs/ response showing file names, sizes, and timestamps.Affected if The response displays a directory index with clickable file links or file metadata
-
Test for path traversal vulnerabilitySend requests to /users/user-cvs/../../../etc/passwd or similar traversal sequences and check if the server returns files outside the intended directory.Affected if Path traversal sequences return files from outside the /users/user-cvs/ directory
-
Identify exposed sensitive filesReview the directory listing or traversal results for CV files (pdf, doc, docx), personal information, or configuration files (config.php, .env, database credentials).Affected if User CVs, personal data, or application configuration files are accessible without authentication
A user is affected if the CodeAstro Online Job Portal 1.0 is running with the /users/user-cvs/ endpoint accessible without authentication and directory listing or path traversal is enabled, exposing sensitive files.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataDisable directory listing on the web server for the /users/ path, implement proper access control and authentication on the user-cvs functionality, and validate/sanitize all path inputs to prevent traversal attacks.
