Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
A CWE-425 “Direct Request ('Forced Browsing')” vulnerability in the “file_configuration” functionality of the web application allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to access confidential configuration files. This issue affects: AiLux imx6 bundle below version imx6_1.0.7-2.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

A CWE-425 forced browsing vulnerability in the file_configuration functionality of the AiLux imx6 web application allows unauthenticated remote attackers to directly access confidential configuration files that should be protected by authentication or proper authorization controls.

MitigationUpgrade to imx6_1.0.7-2 or later which contains proper access controls for the file_configuration functionality. If patching is delayed, implement authentication/authorization checks on file_configuration endpoints as a compensating control.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify AiLux imx6 web application
    Access the web application's login page or main interface and check for 'AiLux' or 'imx6' branding/version indicators in the UI or HTTP response headers
    Affected if The target is an AiLux imx6 web application
  2. Determine imx6 version
    Check the application's version information, typically found in the main login page source, /about page, or by inspecting HTTP responses for version strings like '1.0.7-2' or earlier
    Affected if The installed version is below 1.0.7-2 (the fixed version)
  3. Check file_configuration endpoint exposure
    Attempt to directly access the file_configuration functionality via common paths such as /file_configuration, /config/file_configuration, or similar URL patterns without providing any authentication credentials
    Affected if The endpoint returns configuration data or files without requiring login credentials
  4. Verify forced browsing to config files
    Try to directly access known configuration file paths through the file_configuration functionality, such as /file_configuration?file=config.xml or /file_configuration?path=/etc/ or other parameter-based file access patterns
    Affected if Confidential configuration files are returned without authentication or authorization checks

A user is affected if they are running AiLux imx6 version below 1.0.7-2 AND the file_configuration endpoint is accessible without authentication, allowing unauthenticated access to configuration files.

dbcve · scoped
Upgrade available Upgrade to 1.0.7-2 or later
Fixed in 1.0.7-2
Interim mitigation

Upgrade to imx6_1.0.7-2 or later which contains proper access controls for the file_configuration functionality. If patching is delayed, implement authentication/authorization checks on file_configuration endpoints as a compensating control.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

imx6_1.0.7-2

  1. Identify the current installed version of AiLux imx6 bundle
  2. Plan maintenance window for the upgrade process
  3. Download the imx6_1.0.7-2 or later version of the AiLux imx6 bundle from the official vendor repository
  4. Follow vendor-provided upgrade procedures to apply the new version
  5. After upgrade, verify the file_configuration functionality is working correctly
  6. Confirm the vulnerability is remediated by attempting to access configuration files without proper authentication (should fail)
