DescriptionCVE.org

novel-plus through 5.3.3 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in the BookController download endpoint that allows authenticated backend accounts to export complete book text including paid chapters. Attackers can supply a bookId and bookName to retrieve all chapter content without VIP or purchase verification, bypassing the permission checks and data-scope limits enforced elsewhere in the admin interface.

AnalysisAI

The BookController download endpoint in novel-plus (all versions through 5.3.3) omits authorization verification, allowing any authenticated backend admin account to export complete book text - including paid chapters - by supplying only a bookId and bookName parameter pair. This endpoint skips the VIP subscription and per-chapter purchase enforcement that the rest of the admin interface correctly applies, enabling unauthorized monetized-content extraction. …
