Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-4016 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Xxyopen Novel-Plus. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-4016/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-4016/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-4016","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-4016/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-4016","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4g4h-5x37-mv6j"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Novel-Plus CMS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can remotely delete log indexes in Novel-Plus due to missing authorization checks in the LogController.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"VulDB","cpe":[{"product":"novel-plus","vendor":"xxyopen"}],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-285","name":"Improper Authorization"},{"id":"CWE-266","name":"Incorrect Privilege Assignment"}],"description":"A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in 20120630 Novel-Plus up to 0e156c04b4b7ce0563bef6c97af4476fcda8f160.
