Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
NewsBlur before 14.5.0 contains a broken access control vulnerability that allows authenticated users to read private notification feeds by supplying arbitrary user_id values to the GET /social/interactions endpoint without ownership verification. Attackers can enumerate user_id values to access another user's follows, replies, and social activity without authorization.
AnalysisAI
Broken access control in NewsBlur before 14.5.0 exposes any authenticated user's private social notification feed - follows, replies, and social activity - to any other authenticated user. The GET /social/interactions endpoint accepts an arbitrary user_id parameter and returns that user's MInteraction records without verifying the requesting session owns the account, a classic CWE-639 IDOR. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires only a valid authenticated NewsBlur session (any registered account, corresponding to CVSS PR:L); no administrative privilege, no special role, and no non-default configuration is needed. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N) characterizes this accurately: network-accessible, zero complexity, but limited to low confidentiality impact on the vulnerable system with no integrity or availability dimension. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | A registered NewsBlur user authenticates normally, then iterates GET /social/interactions?user_id=1 through /social/interactions?user_id=N using any HTTP client with their session cookie, collecting the private follows, replies, and social activity records of every user whose ID returns data. No exploit tool has been identified - simple curl or browser DevTools repetition is sufficient given the zero-complexity network vector. |
| Remediation | Upgrade to NewsBlur 14.5.0 or later; the authorization fix is present in commit 613c60b67cc46b3f4cae1dc2dfd8d717a39bc483 (https://github.com/samuelclay/NewsBlur/commit/613c60b67cc46b3f4cae1dc2dfd8d717a39bc483) and tagged at https://github.com/samuelclay/NewsBlur/releases/tag/Android_14.5.0. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
