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
IBM Datacap 9.1.7, 9.1.8, and 9.1.9 and IBM Datacap Navigator 9.1.7, 9.1.8, and 9.1.9 exposes resources or functionality that isn't linked in the UI but is accessible by directly requesting the URL, bypassing intended access controls.

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

IBM Datacap 9.1.7-9.1.9 and IBM Datacap Navigator 9.1.7-9.1.9 contain hidden functionality accessible via direct URL requests that bypass UI-based access controls. This is an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) or horizontal/vertical privilege escalation issue where unlinked resources expose sensitive operations without proper authorization checks.

MitigationImplement and enforce consistent authorization checks on all server-side endpoints regardless of UI exposure. Apply IBM patches when available and audit accessible URLs for proper access control enforcement.

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 IBM Datacap version
    Check the product version through the Datacap application or Windows Add/Remove Programs. Look for version 9.1.7, 9.1.8, or 9.1.9 specifically.
    Affected if The installed version is 9.1.7, 9.1.8, or 9.1.9 for either IBM Datacap or IBM Datacap Navigator.
  2. Identify installed IBM Datacap Navigator version
    Check the Datacap Navigator component version through the installation directory or Windows Add/Remove Programs.
    Affected if The installed Datacap Navigator version is 9.1.7, 9.1.8, or 9.1.9.
  3. Determine if web interface is accessible
    Access the Datacap or Datacap Navigator web interface URL (typically http://servername:port/ibm/datacap for Datacap or similar paths for Navigator).
    Affected if The web interface is reachable and the product version is one of the affected versions listed above.
  4. Audit for hidden or unlinked URL endpoints
    Review server logs, application configuration files, and known endpoint patterns to identify any direct URLs that are not exposed in the UI navigation but may exist.
    Affected if Hidden or unlinked URL endpoints exist and are accessible without additional authorization checks beyond the UI.

You are affected if IBM Datacap or IBM Datacap Navigator version 9.1.7, 9.1.8, or 9.1.9 is installed and the web interface is accessible, as unlinked URLs can be accessed directly bypassing UI-based access controls.
