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 comment operations allow a low-privileged Author to manage comments under another Author's posts. The admin/controller/content/comment.php and admin/controller/content/comments.php controllers and the admin/sql/sqlite/comment.sql queries accept a caller-controlled comment_id without verifying comment.post_id against post.admin_id for the current admin_id. An attacker can read pending comment content and commenter email addresses, change moderation status, edit comment content, or delete comments, breaking author and moderation boundaries. This issue is fixed in version 1.0.8.4.

AI Analysis

Impact

Vvveb allows a low‑privileged Author to manipulate comments belonging to other Authors because the comment controllers accept a caller‑controlled comment_id without verifying that its post_id matches the author’s own posts. This enables the attacker to read pending comment content and commenter email addresses, change moderation status, edit or delete any other author’s comments, thereby breaching author and moderation boundaries. The weakness aligns with CWE‑639, an authorization bypass through user‑controlled key.

Affected Systems

All Vvveb installations running a version earlier than 1.0.8.4 are affected. The CMS version 1.0.8.4 and later contain a fix that checks comment.post_id against the current admin_id before performing any comment operation.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 7.6, indicating a high severity vulnerability. The EPSS score is not available, and the issue is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. The attack requires an authenticated connection to the Vvveb backend as an Author; once authenticated, the attacker can exploit the flaw remotely over the network. Given the lack of exploitable public proof yet and the high CVSS score, the overall risk remains high for sites that expose author accounts without additional safeguards.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Vvveb to version 1.0.8.4 or newer, which implements proper verification of comment ownership.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, remove or restrict author permissions that allow comment approval, editing, or deletion so that authors can only interact with their own posts.
  • Apply the commit that validates comment.post_id against the current admin_id in the comment controllers.
