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 authenticated Arbitrary File Deletion vulnerability enables an attacker to delete critical files. This issue affects Avid NEXIS E-series: before 2025.5.1; Avid NEXIS F-series: before 2025.5.1; Avid NEXIS PRO+: before 2025.5.1; System Director Appliance (SDA+): before 2025.5.1.

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

An authenticated arbitrary file deletion vulnerability in Avid NEXIS storage systems allows an authenticated attacker to delete critical files on the affected devices. This affects E-series, F-series, PRO+, and System Director Appliance (SDA+) products running versions before 2025.5.1.

MitigationUpgrade all affected Avid NEXIS products to version 2025.5.1 or later. Additionally, limit administrative access to trusted personnel and monitor authenticated sessions for suspicious file operation activity.

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 Avid NEXIS product model
    Access the Avid NEXIS admin interface or command-line interface and retrieve the system model information. Common identifiers include E-series, F-series, PRO+, or System Director Appliance (SDA+).
    Affected if The device is an Avid NEXIS E-series, F-series, PRO+, or SDA+ storage system
  2. Determine the installed software version
    In the Avid NEXIS admin interface, navigate to the System Information or About section to view the current firmware/software version number. Alternatively, use the command-line interface with an administrative account and run the appropriate version display command.
    Affected if The displayed version number is lower than 2025.5.1
  3. Compare version against the affected range
    Compare the identified version number to the vulnerable range. The vulnerability affects all versions before 2025.5.1, including older major releases and point updates.
    Affected if The installed version is 2025.4.x, 2024.x, 2023.x, or any earlier version, or the version cannot be determined but is known to be from before the 2025.5.1 release

A system is affected if it is an Avid NEXIS E-series, F-series, PRO+, or SDA+ appliance running software version 2025.5.0 or earlier.
