CVE-2026-18722Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated survey access via unchecked ownership

Published Aug 4, 2026 · Updated Aug 4, 2026

Improper authorization in Diaowen DWSurvey 6.0 through 6.14.0 allows remote authenticated users to access another user's survey. The DwDeisgnSurveyController.devSurvey handler accepts a user-controlled survey key without verifying that the current account owns the selected survey. A valid low-privilege session is required, and public evidence does not establish whether the resulting access reads or modifies survey data.
