CVE-2026-24571 is a missing authorization vulnerability identified in the boxnow BOX NOW Delivery product, affecting versions up to and including 3.0.2. This vulnerability stems from incorrectly configured access control mechanisms, which fail to enforce proper authorization checks on certain resources or operations within the application. As a result, an attacker with low-level privileges (PR:L) can remotely access or perform actions that should be restricted, without requiring any user interaction (UI:N). The CVSS v3.1 base score is 4.3, indicating a medium severity level, primarily due to the impact on confidentiality (C:L) while integrity and availability remain unaffected (I:N, A:N). The attack vector is network-based (AV:N), and the attack complexity is low (AC:L), meaning exploitation is relatively straightforward once low privileges are obtained. The vulnerability does not require elevated privileges beyond low-level access, which could be obtained through legitimate user accounts or other means. No patches or exploit code are currently publicly available, and no known active exploitation has been reported. This vulnerability highlights the importance of correctly implementing authorization checks to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data or functionality within delivery management systems like BOX NOW Delivery.

For European organizations using BOX NOW Delivery, this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive delivery information or customer data, potentially violating data protection regulations such as GDPR. Although the impact is limited to confidentiality and does not affect system integrity or availability, unauthorized data exposure can result in reputational damage, regulatory fines, and loss of customer trust. Organizations in sectors with high volumes of delivery operations, such as retail, logistics, and e-commerce, may be particularly affected. Attackers exploiting this flaw could gain insights into delivery schedules, customer addresses, or other sensitive operational data, which could be leveraged for further attacks or fraud. The medium severity rating suggests that while the risk is not critical, it should not be ignored, especially in environments where sensitive personal or business data is processed. The lack of known exploits in the wild provides a window for proactive mitigation before active attacks emerge.

To mitigate CVE-2026-24571, organizations should first verify if they are running BOX NOW Delivery versions up to 3.0.2 and prioritize upgrading to a patched version once available from the vendor. In the absence of an official patch, administrators should review and tighten access control configurations within the application, ensuring that authorization checks are correctly enforced on all sensitive endpoints and functions. Implement role-based access control (RBAC) policies that strictly limit user privileges to the minimum necessary. Conduct thorough security testing, including penetration testing and code reviews, focusing on access control mechanisms. Monitor application logs for unusual access patterns that may indicate exploitation attempts. Additionally, restrict network access to the BOX NOW Delivery application to trusted internal networks or VPNs to reduce exposure. Educate users about the importance of safeguarding credentials to prevent attackers from gaining even low-level access. Finally, maintain up-to-date backups and incident response plans to quickly respond if exploitation occurs.
