Exploitation Conditions

Requires a valid authenticated low-privilege metasfresh account (PR:L) with access to the web backend REST API; the attacker then invokes the BoardRestController getBoard, getCard, addCard, removeCard, or patchCard handlers supplying board/card record identifiers belonging to other roles or organizations. Exploitation is limited by the need for valid credentials and knowledge or enumeration of out-of-scope record IDs; no user interaction is needed and default configurations are affected, but impact is confined to reading records and changing board card assignments within reach of the REST layer.

Impact

This is a genuinely low-priority issue, and the available signals are consistent rather than conflicting. The vendor-supplied CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N) yields a base score of 2.3 (Low), reflecting a network-reachable REST API that nonetheless requires an authenticated low-privilege account (PR:L) and some attack precondition (AT:P), with only limited confidentiality and integrity impact and no availability impact. CWE-639 (authorization bypass through user-controlled key / IDOR) aligns with the description of record-level access-control failure. No EPSS score, SSVC decision, or KEV entry was provided in the input; KEV status is absent and no POC flag was supplied, so exploitation status is: no public exploit identified at time of analysis. A detailed third-party technical write-up (hackmd) and a VulnCheck advisory exist with direct source-code line references, which raises the likelihood that working exploit steps could be reconstructed, but that is not the same as confirmed active exploitation or a published weaponized POC - do not conflate the two. Net: a real but low-severity authorization flaw affecting authenticated insiders, not a widespread remote-unauthenticated emergency.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A legitimate but low-privilege metasfresh user authenticates to the web backend and issues REST calls to the BoardRestController getBoard/getCard/addCard/removeCard/patchCard handlers referencing board and card record IDs belonging to other roles or organizations. Because record-level authorization is not enforced, the user reads data outside their scope and alters board card assignments. No public exploit code was identified, though a technical write-up with source-line references is publicly available.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 15, 2026

Missing record-level authorization in metasfresh through 5.175 allows an authenticated low-privilege user to bypass role and organization access checks by calling the BoardRestController handlers getBoard, getCard, addCard, removeCard and patchCard, which lets them read records outside their scope and modify board card assignments. The CVSS 4.0 vector confirms the prerequisites are an authenticated attacker (PR:L) over the network with no user interaction, and the independent CVSS 3.1 assessment (low confidentiality and integrity impact, scope unchanged) agrees that exploitation is limited by the need for valid credentials plus knowledge or enumeration of out-of-scope record identifiers. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis and CISA KEV does not list this CVE, so both the reported 2.3 score and the independent assessment characterize this as a genuinely low-priority, confined authorization weakness rather than a high-impact compromise vector.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis, and no fixed version number is given in the available references, so the primary action is to track the upstream repository at https://github.com/metasfresh/metasfresh and the VulnCheck advisory at https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/metasfresh-through-5.175-authorization-bypass-via-rest-api-board-rest-api for a patched release, then upgrade to that exact version once published. Until then, apply compensating controls with their trade-offs in mind: restrict network reachability of the metasfresh web backend REST API to trusted networks or VPN clients with a reverse proxy or firewall rule, accepting that this breaks remote board access for legitimate users working off-network; if the board feature is not required, disable or block the BoardRestController endpoints (getBoard, getCard, addCard, removeCard, patchCard) at the gateway, accepting the loss of board functionality for all roles; enforce least privilege so that accounts granted only low-privilege roles cannot reach the web backend REST API at all, accepting the access reduction for those accounts; enable and review audit logging of board and card operations plus periodic reconciliation of board card assignments and organization/role scoping, accepting the storage and operational overhead; and treat any out-of-scope record identifiers returned by these endpoints as a potential data exposure requiring investigation.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The flaw is CWE-639, authorization bypass through a user-controlled key, implemented as a classic object-level (record-level) access-control gap in the Java Spring REST layer of the metasfresh ERP backend. The affected code lives in the de.metas.ui.web.base module: BoardRestController.java (lines 137-220 in the 5.175 snapshot) exposes board and card operations, and BoardDescriptorRepository.java (lines 473-511) is where board/card records are resolved, with no enforcement that the caller's role and organization are entitled to the referenced board, card or record identifiers. Because the request supplies the board/card key directly and server-side checks are missing, the endpoints behave as an IDOR-style surface: a low-privilege authenticated session can pass identifiers belonging to other roles or organizations and receive data or apply mutations it should never reach. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:metasfresh:metasfresh:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* indicates the issue applies across the metasfresh product line up to the 5.175 boundary described in the advisory.
