Technical impact
The vulnerability is an IDOR flaw in Cervantes that lets an authenticated attacker read technical evidence, credentials, and client details from projects they are not a part of. This flaw is categorized as CWE‑639, Information Exposure Through IDOR. The flaw also allows the attacker to change finding statuses and move findings into projects they own, thereby corrupting data integrity. Affected data includes sensitive findings and proof‑of‑concept artifacts.
Affected Systems
The issue affects Cervantes by CervantesSec, specifically the v1.3‑beta release and the subsequent v1.4.0‑beta version mentioned in the product list. Any installation of these versions is vulnerable.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 4.3 indicates a moderate severity level, and no EPSS value is available. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers seemingly need to be authenticated users with sufficient privileges; it is therefore expected that exploitation requires prior access to the system. While the scoring reflects moderate risk, the potential damage from altered findings and exposed credentials could be significant.
