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 vulnerability was found in Inis up to 2.0.1. It has been rated as problematic. This issue affects some unknown processing of the file /app/api/controller/default/File.php of the component GET Request Handler. The manipulation of the argument path leads to path traversal: '../filedir'. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The identifier VDB-250109 was assigned to this vulnerability.

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 path traversal vulnerability in Inis up to 2.0.1 allows remote attackers to access arbitrary files by manipulating the path parameter in GET requests to the File.php controller using directory traversal sequences like '../filedir'. The vulnerability exists in the GET Request Handler component.

MitigationImplement strict input validation and sanitization on the path parameter to reject directory traversal sequences; restrict file access to allowed directories and use allow-listing of permitted paths.

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 Inis installation and version
    Locate the Inis installation directory and check for a version file or composer.json that indicates the installed version. Compare against the affected range: <= 2.0.1
    Affected if Inis version 2.0.1 or any earlier version is installed
  2. Locate the File.php controller
    Search for the File.php controller in the application's source code, typically in a controllers or src directory. Verify it handles GET requests with a path parameter
    Affected if File.php controller exists and is accessible via web requests
  3. Verify path parameter handling is exposed
    Examine the File.php controller code to confirm it accepts a 'path' parameter from GET requests and passes it to file system operations without proper validation
    Affected if The path parameter from GET requests is processed by the controller without sanitization checks
  4. Test for directory traversal vulnerability
    Send a GET request to File.php with a path parameter containing directory traversal sequences such as '../' to access files outside the intended directory
    Affected if The application allows reading files outside the intended directory via path parameter manipulation
  5. Check access controls on file operations
    Review whether the application implements allow-listing of permitted paths or strict input validation on the path parameter before file operations
    Affected if No allow-listing or strict validation is implemented, allowing arbitrary file access

A user is affected if they are running Inis version 2.0.1 or earlier and the File.php controller with its path parameter is accessible via the web.
