An attacker can send specific requests to certain endpoints which are not properly constrained by ACLs. This allows the attacker to access and possibly modify data or functionality that they should not have access to, potentially leading to system compromise or data leakage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"ameeb-493725327\" class=\"ameeb-content ameeb-entity-placement\"><div class=\"poptin-embedded\" data-id=\"f6b387694f681\"><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\n<p>An attacker could send a request similar to the following to exploit the vulnerability:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"\" data-line=\"\">POST \/unauthorized\/endpoint HTTP\/1.1\nHost: target.example.com\nContent-Type: application\/json\n{ &quot;unauthorized_request&quot;: &quot;...&quot; }<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>In this example, &#8220;unauthorized_request&#8221; represents data or functionality that the attacker is not authorized to access or modify, but due to the missing authorization vulnerability in JetMenu, the system erroneously processes the request.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mitigation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To mitigate this vulnerability, users are advised to apply the vendor-supplied patch. If the patch is not yet available or cannot be applied immediately, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can serve as a temporary mitigation measure by blocking or alerting on attempts to exploit this vulnerability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overview This report discusses CVE-2025-26953, a missing authorization vulnerability in NotFound JetMenu.
