Technical details

An authorization bypass vulnerability (CWE-639) exists in ArgusTech BILGER versions prior to 2.4.6. The flaw is rooted in the application's reliance on user-controlled keys or identifiers to perform authorization checks. An attacker with low-level user privileges can manipulate these trusted identifiers in network requests to access records or functionality they are not authorized to view. This is a classic Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) style vulnerability. The issue is resolved in version 2.4.6.
