Summary

CVE-2026-24773 is a high-severity Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key (CWE-639) vulnerability in Gunet Open Eclass Platform. Its CVSS base score is 7.5 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 28th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-24 (Access Control Decisions) and AC-3 (Access Enforcement) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

CVE-2026-24773 is an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability, classified under CWE-639, affecting the Open eClass platform, a complete course management system formerly known as GUnet eClass. Versions prior to 4.2 are vulnerable, enabling unauthenticated remote attackers to access personal files belonging to other users by directly requesting predictable user identifiers. The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N), indicating high confidentiality impact with no effects on integrity or availability.

Unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low complexity and no user interaction required. By leveraging predictable user identifiers, they can directly access sensitive personal files of other users, potentially exposing private data without needing privileges or authentication.

The issue has been addressed in Open eClass version 4.2. Additional details are available in the GitHub security advisory at https://github.com/gunet/openeclass/security/advisories/GHSA-63pm-pff4-xc9c.

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Enforcing approved authorizations on every access request structurally stops a user-controlled key from reaching another user's data.

Requiring explicit access-control decisions on each request blocks unauthorized key-driven access.

Least-privilege restrictions limit the scope of data reachable even if a key check is bypassed.

PR.AA-05 full match
prevents

Enforcing authorization policy and least privilege directly blocks user-controlled key tampering that bypasses access checks.

PR.IR-01 mostly match
prevents

Logical access controls prevent unauthorized data access that results from missing authorization checks on object references.

finds

Security testing can detect missing authorization checks but does not prevent the weakness in production.

prevents

Information access restriction explicitly enforces that users may only retrieve data they are authorized to see, directly addressing user-controlled key bypass.

prevents

Access control policy directly requires enforcement of authorization rules that prevent unauthorized access via manipulated keys.

prevents

Managing access rights includes ensuring users can only access their own records and not bypass authorization by altering identifiers.

mitigates

Privileged access rights control restricts what data each user may access, mitigating direct object reference attacks.

prevents

Secure development lifecycle includes authorization design but does not itself implement runtime access checks.
