Description
Vvveb is a powerful and easy to use CMS with page builder to build websites, blogs or ecommerce stores. Prior to 1.0.8.4, Vvveb backend post operations allow a low-privileged Author to access posts owned by another Author. The admin/controller/content/posts.php controller permits filter[admin_id] to replace the server-selected admin_id restriction and accepts a caller-controlled post_id for duplicate and delete actions, while admin/sql/sqlite/post.sql does not consistently enforce post.admin_id. An attacker can view post metadata, discover post identifiers, duplicate posts, or delete posts and related content, exposing private drafts and causing content pollution, data loss, or business disruption. This issue is fixed in version 1.0.8.4.

AI Analysis

Impact

Vvveb versions prior to 1.0.8.4 suffer from an authorization bypass that allows any authenticated Author to view, duplicate, or delete posts belonging to other authors. The vulnerability is caused by the backend controller permitting a caller‑controlled filter[admin_id] to override the server‑selected admin_id, coupled with inconsistent enforcement of post.admin_id in the database schema. This flaw enables an attacker to read post metadata, duplicate content, or delete drafts and associated media, leading to information disclosure, data loss, and potential business disruption.

Affected Systems

Vvveb, the content management system provided by givanz, is affected. All releases older than version 1.0.8.4 are vulnerable. The fix is applied in 1.0.8.4 and later releases, so any installation running a pre‑1.0.8.4 build must be considered at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.3 indicates a high‑severity flaw. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog, meaning no confirmed exploits have been reported to date. However, the vulnerability can be exploited by any user with Author privileges by crafting HTTP requests to the posts controller with a manipulated filter[admin_id] and post_id. The attack vector is inferred to be internal, authenticated, non‑privileged users, so organizations with many author accounts represent a larger attack surface. Given the lack of public exploitation, early patching is strongly recommended.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Vvveb installation to version 1.0.8.4 or later to apply the vendor‑issued fix.
  • Review author accounts and enforce least‑privilege configurations to limit routine access to only the posts they own.
  • Add server‑side validation to ensure the admin_id cannot be overridden by client parameters and audit duplicate/delete actions for suspicious activity.
  • If immediate upgrade is not feasible, temporarily disable the duplicate and delete endpoints for non‑admin authors or block the filter[admin_id] parameter via web‑application firewall rules.
