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
An issue was discovered in Elspec G5 digital fault recorder versions 1.1.4.15 and before. Unauthenticated directory listing can occur: the web interface cay be abused be an attacker get a better understanding of the operating system.

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 · high confidence

The Elspec G5 digital fault recorder web interface allows unauthenticated directory listing, enabling remote attackers to view directory contents and enumerate the underlying operating system structure without any credentials.

MitigationDisable directory listing on the web server and restrict access to the administrative interface through authentication or network segmentation. Contact the vendor for a firmware update if available.

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 the Elspec G5dfr device
    Access the web interface and look for product identification strings, check the firmware version information page, or query the device banner/version endpoints for 'G5dfr' or 'Elspec' branding
    Affected if The device is not an Elspec G5dfr digital fault recorder
  2. Determine the installed firmware version
    Navigate to the web interface system information or firmware version page, or use SNMP/sysinfo queries if available, and note the exact version number
    Affected if The firmware version is 1.2.1.12 or lower, or cannot be determined but is inferred to be older
  3. Test for unauthenticated directory listing
    Access common web directory paths on the device (such as /, /files/, /logs/, /config/, or root-level paths) without providing credentials and observe whether directory contents are displayed
    Affected if Directory listing is enabled and contents of directories are visible without authentication
  4. Check web server configuration for directory listing
    If administrative access is available, inspect the web server configuration files (such as Apache .htaccess, nginx config, or embedded web server settings) for 'Indexes' or 'AutoIndex' directives
    Affected if Directory listing options are explicitly enabled in the web server configuration

User is affected if the Elspec G5dfr firmware version is below 1.2.1.12 AND the web interface exposes directory listings without requiring authentication.

Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.

Check your environment

Paste your version and any relevant configuration and it will be compared against the affected criteria above. Do not include secrets or credentials.

AI-assisted, checked against the advisory. Informational, not a guarantee.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 1.2.1.12 or later
Fixed in 1.2.1.12
Interim mitigation

Disable directory listing on the web server and restrict access to the administrative interface through authentication or network segmentation. Contact the vendor for a firmware update if available.

Recommended fix High confidence

Firmware version 1.2.1.12 or later

  1. Obtain the fixed firmware version 1.2.1.12 or later from Elspec Ltd via official support channels (www.elspec-ltd.com)
  2. Review firmware upgrade documentation specific to the G5 digital fault recorder
  3. Ensure the device has stable power during the firmware update process
  4. Upload and apply firmware version 1.2.1.12 or newer to the G5 device
  5. After upgrade, verify that the web interface no longer exposes directory listings
  6. Confirm the fix by accessing the web interface without authentication and ensuring directory listing is disabled
