Vvveb: Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key
CVE-2026-49226 is a high-severity authorization bypass through user-controlled key vulnerability in Vvveb from Givanz, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.3 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an attacker with a low-privileged account, without any action from a user. Affected Vvveb versions: < 1.0.8.4. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.48% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.

Official description
Vvveb is a powerful and easy to use CMS with page builder to build websites, blogs or ecommerce stores. Prior to 1.0.8.4, Vvveb backend post operations allow a low-privileged Author to access posts owned by another Author. The admin/controller/content/posts.php controller permits filter[admin_id] to replace the server-selected admin_id restriction and accepts a caller-controlled post_id for duplicate and delete actions, while admin/sql/sqlite/post.sql does not consistently enforce post.admin_id. An attacker can view post metadata, discover post identifiers, duplicate posts, or delete posts and related content, exposing private drafts and causing content pollution, data loss, or business disruption. This issue is fixed in version 1.0.8.4.

The underlying weakness: Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key
The system's authorization functionality does not prevent one user from gaining access to another user's data or record by modifying the key value identifying the data.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- For each and every data access, ensure that the user has sufficient privilege to access the record that is being requested.
- Make sure that the key that is used in the lookup of a specific user's record is not controllable externally by the user or that any tampering can be detected.
- Use encryption in order to make it more difficult to guess other legitimate values of the key or associate a digital signature with the key so that the server can verify that there has been no tampering.
