Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

AI-suggested

Organizations should immediately review their use of Bonitasoft runtime Community edition and restrict its exposure to untrusted networks to reduce attack surface. Network-level controls such as firewalls and VPNs should be employed to limit access to the application. Administrators should monitor for unusual access patterns or unauthorized data access attempts. Since no official patches are currently available, consider upgrading to the Subscription edition if dynamic permissions and customizable access controls are critical for security. Alternatively, implement compensating controls such as application-layer proxies or custom access control mechanisms to enforce stricter permission checks. Stay alert for vendor advisories and apply patches promptly once released. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration tests focusing on access control weaknesses. Finally, educate developers and administrators about the risks of IDOR vulnerabilities and the importance of fine-grained access control.

Description

In Bonitasoft runtime Community edition, the lack of dynamic permissions causes IDOR vulnerability. Dynamic permissions existed only in Subscription edition and have now been restored in Community edition, where they are not custmizable.

Impact

The vulnerability allows unauthorized users to access or manipulate sensitive objects within the Bonitasoft runtime Community edition, potentially exposing confidential business process data or enabling unauthorized modifications. This can lead to data leakage, unauthorized data manipulation, and potential disruption of business workflows. Organizations relying on Bonitasoft for critical process automation may face risks to data integrity and confidentiality, which could impact compliance with data protection regulations. Although availability is not directly affected, the breach of confidentiality and integrity could undermine trust in the platform and cause operational disruptions. Since the vulnerability requires no authentication and can be exploited remotely, the attack surface is broad, especially for publicly accessible deployments. The lack of customizable permissions further exacerbates the risk by limiting mitigation options within the affected edition.

Pillar weaknessCWE Top 25 (2025): #19OWASP Top 10 A01:2025: Broken Access Control (opens in a new tab)
The product does not restrict or incorrectly restricts access to a resource from an unauthorized actor.
MITRE discourages mapping vulnerabilities to this broad entry; the root cause is usually a more specific weakness.
Architecture and Design · Operation
Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.
Architecture and Design · Separation of Privilege
Compartmentalize the system to have "safe" areas where trust boundaries can be unambiguously drawn. Do not allow sensitive data to go outside of the trust boundary and always be careful when interfacing with a compartment outside of the safe area.
