Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires an authenticated account with at least low-level forum access (PR:L per CVSS vector - a registered forum member). The critical enabling condition is that the targeted forum must be configured with a view_other_topics restriction applied to the attacker's user group, meaning the forum operator has intentionally limited topic visibility. Without this specific permission configuration, the view_other_topics bypass has no effect because no restriction exists to bypass. Exploitation is further limited to the reaction sub-feature of the forum module - it does not grant access to full post content, private messages, or other forum data. The attack is network-accessible with no user interaction required, but requires knowledge of valid topic IDs in the restricted forum.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 score of 5.3 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N) reflects a remotely exploitable, low-complexity flaw requiring only low-privilege authentication - consistent with any registered forum member account. The dual low-impact ratings (VC:L, VI:L) accurately reflect the narrow scope: confidentiality impact is limited to leaking reaction metadata (not post content), and integrity impact is limited to unauthorized reaction placement or removal. There is no availability impact and no scope change to subsequent systems. No EPSS score was provided in the available data, and this CVE is not present in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting no confirmed or widespread active exploitation. The practical real-world risk is low: the attack is constrained to forums explicitly configured with view_other_topics restrictions, and the data exposed - reactions, not post body content - is of minimal sensitivity. This is a real authorization defect worth patching but not an emergency priority absent other escalating signals.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An authenticated NamelessMC forum member in a forum configured with view_other_topics disabled crafts HTTP requests directly to the forum reaction endpoint, specifying the IDs of topics created by other users. Despite lacking permission to view those topics in the forum UI, the reaction context class does not block the request, allowing the attacker to enumerate reaction data on restricted topics or place/remove reactions - revealing that those topics exist and that the attacker interacted with them. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jun 02, 2026

NamelessMC 2.2.4's forum module exposes a broken object-level authorization flaw that allows authenticated users to read and modify reactions on topics they are explicitly forbidden from viewing. The vulnerability exists in modules/Forum/classes/ForumPostReactionContext.php, which enforces only forum-level access (can view the forum) but omits the topic-level view_other_topics permission check - meaning the access control boundary is incomplete by design. Attackers with a low-privilege forum account in a restricted forum can bypass the view_other_topics restriction to interact with other users' topic reactions. No public exploit code exists and this CVE is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to NamelessMC version 2.2.5, which introduces topic-level view_other_topics authorization enforcement within ForumPostReactionContext.php. The fix is confirmed by the vendor via GitHub Security Advisory GHSA-wcrf-5gcp-pf64 at https://github.com/NamelessMC/Nameless/security/advisories/GHSA-wcrf-5gcp-pf64. For operators unable to patch immediately, a compensating control is to remove or avoid using the view_other_topics restriction feature in any forum category - this eliminates the permission disparity that the bypass exploits, though it broadens topic visibility for all users in that forum, which may conflict with intended moderation design. Alternatively, restricting forum membership to fully trusted users removes the untrusted actor from the threat model. There is no known server-side configuration toggle to disable the reaction API independently without code modification.

Technical ContextAI · show details

NamelessMC is an open-source PHP web application used to build websites for Minecraft game servers. The forum subsystem implements hierarchical permission controls: a user may have access to enter a forum but be restricted by the view_other_topics permission from reading topics authored by others. The affected class ForumPostReactionContext.php handles reading and writing of emoji-style reactions on forum posts. CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) is the root cause - specifically, the authorization gate for forum-entry permission is applied, but the secondary per-topic authorization layer is never re-checked within the reaction context. This is a classic incomplete mediation or broken object-level authorization (BOLA/IDOR) pattern common in PHP applications where permission checks are scattered across controller logic rather than enforced at the data layer. The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:namelessmc:nameless:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers all NamelessMC versions, though the vulnerability is specifically confirmed in version 2.2.4.

DescriptionCVE.org

NamelessMC is website software for Minecraft servers. In version 2.2.4, modules/Forum/classes/ForumPostReactionContext.php only verifies that the caller can view the forum, but it does not re-enforce topic-level view_other_topics authorization. As a result, in forums where users may enter the forum but may only view their own topics, reactions can still be read and modified on other users' topics. Version 2.2.5 fixes the issue.
