Exploitation Conditions

No special conditions - remote unauthenticated exploitation against default configurations of TaleLin lin-cms-spring-boot (<=0.2.1). Exploitation requires only crafting a request to the book endpoint with an altered ID argument; no authentication (PR:N), no user interaction (UI:N), and no non-default settings are needed. Limiting factors are the low impact ceiling (read-only disclosure of book records, no integrity/availability effect) and the product's niche deployment as an open-source CMS scaffold, which sharply constrains the realistic target population.

Impact

This is a genuinely low-severity issue despite the network-reachable vector. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N, score 5.5) reflects unauthenticated remote reachability but only LOW confidentiality impact and NO integrity or availability impact - consistent with CWE-285 improper authorization (an IDOR/BOLA-style flaw) on a single read endpoint (getBook). A public exploit exists (E:P, GitHub PoC by hhhh333), which raises practical accessibility, but there is NO CISA KEV listing and NO EPSS score provided, so there is no evidence of active or widespread exploitation. The single-source reporting (VulDB only) and unresponsive vendor mean affected-version and impact claims are not independently corroborated. Net: a real but low-priority finding - the public PoC warrants patching where deployed, but the limited impact (read-only info disclosure of book records in what is effectively a demo/scaffold CMS) and niche footprint keep real-world risk modest. Note the 'Authentication Bypass' tag overstates this: CWE-285 is an authorization failure on an object reference, not an authentication bypass.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A remote, unauthenticated attacker sends a request to the /book endpoint while manipulating the ID parameter, causing the getBook handler to return book records the requester should not be authorized to view. A public proof-of-concept exists (GitHub, hhhh333/CVE), lowering the skill required, and the attack needs no special access, user interaction, or non-default configuration.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 24, 2026

Improper authorization in TaleLin lin-cms-spring-boot 0.2.1 and earlier lets remote unauthenticated attackers read book records they are not entitled to by manipulating the ID argument supplied to the BookController.getBook endpoint (CWE-285, an object-level authorization gap equivalent to an IDOR). Exploitation requires no authentication, no user interaction and no non-default configuration, and publicly available exploit code exists, though the impact ceiling is low - read-only disclosure of book data with no integrity or availability effect. The issue is not listed in CISA KEV, and the maintainer did not respond to the VulDB disclosure, so no patched version has been identified.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch was identified at the time of analysis: the maintainer was contacted early about the disclosure but did not respond, and none of the available references point to a fixed release or upstream commit, so upgrading is not an option today. Compensating controls must therefore be implemented locally - add an explicit object-level authorization check in BookController.getBook that validates the caller's permission against the requested book before returning data (the trade-off is code maintenance burden on a fork, but it removes the IDOR root cause); alternatively, wrap the endpoint with the framework's permission mechanism, e.g. Spring Security method annotations or the lin-cms permission interceptor, so unauthenticated or under-privileged requests are rejected, accepting that legitimate read paths must be re-tested to avoid breaking the book listing features. If the book API is not needed, disable or remove the controller mapping entirely, or block the corresponding route at the reverse proxy/gateway (a blunt but effective measure that also eliminates any unrelated functionality on that path).

Technical ContextAI · show details

The affected component is the Latticy book module of lin-cms-spring-boot, an open-source Java/Spring Boot CMS scaffold maintained by TaleLin (CPE cpe:2.3:a:talelin:lin-cms-spring-boot:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, i.e. all versions up to and including 0.2.1). The flaw lives in src/main/java/io/github/talelin/latticy/controller/v1/BookController.java in the getBook handler, which resolves a book entity directly from a client-controlled identifier without verifying that the caller holds the permission required for that object - the classic CWE-285 improper authorization pattern. Because the endpoint trusts the request parameter rather than an ownership or scope check tied to the authenticated principal, an unauthenticated remote caller can enumerate and retrieve records. There is no memory-safety, injection or cryptographic component here: the attack surface is purely the authorization logic of a REST controller in a Spring Boot application, which is why the assessed vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N with C:L/I:N/A:N. Tags associated with the record classify it as a Java-based authentication bypass, and VulDB published the issue together with a public proof-of-concept.

DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability was found in TaleLin lin-cms-spring-boot up to 0.2.1. This impacts the function getBook of the file src/main/java/io/github/talelin/latticy/controller/v1/BookController.java of the component book Endpoint. Performing a manipulation of the argument ID results in improper authorization. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
