CVE-2026-38532 is a high-severity Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key (CWE-639) vulnerability in Webkul Krayin Crm. Its CVSS base score is 8.1 (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-2026-38532 is a Broken Object-Level Authorization (BOLA) vulnerability, mapped to CWE-639, in the /Contact/Persons/PersonController.php endpoint of Webkul Krayin CRM v2.2.x. Published on 2026-04-14T16:16:43.830, it carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N). The issue stems from inadequate authorization checks, allowing authenticated attackers to arbitrarily read, modify, and permanently delete any contact owned by other users through a crafted GET request to the endpoint.
Any authenticated user with low privileges (PR:L) can exploit this vulnerability remotely over the network (AV:N) with low complexity (AC:L) and no user interaction (UI:N). Exploitation grants high-impact unauthorized access to confidentiality (C:H) by reading sensitive contact data, high-impact integrity violations (I:H) via modifications, and permanent deletions, though it does not affect availability (A:N).

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.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Enforcing authorization policy and least privilege directly blocks user-controlled key tampering that bypasses access checks.
Logical access controls prevent unauthorized data access that results from missing authorization checks on object references.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Security testing can detect missing authorization checks but does not prevent the weakness in production.
Information access restriction explicitly enforces that users may only retrieve data they are authorized to see, directly addressing user-controlled key bypass.
Access control policy directly requires enforcement of authorization rules that prevent unauthorized access via manipulated keys.
Managing access rights includes ensuring users can only access their own records and not bypass authorization by altering identifiers.
Privileged access rights control restricts what data each user may access, mitigating direct object reference attacks.
Secure development lifecycle includes authorization design but does not itself implement runtime access checks.
