CVE-2025-1980
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 · uneditedThe Ready_ application's Profile section allows users to upload files of any type and extension without restriction. If the server is misconfigured, as it was by default when installed at the turn of 2021 and 2022, it can result in Remote Code Execution. Refer to the Required Configuration for Exposure section for more information.
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 confidenceThe Ready_ application's Profile section contains an unrestricted file upload vulnerability that allows users to upload files of any type and extension without validation. When the server is misconfigured (as it was by default in installations from late 2021 to early 2022), this can be exploited to achieve Remote Code Execution by uploading malicious executable files.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify the Ready application installationLocate the Ready application in your environment and confirm it is the product affected by CVE-2025-1980Affected if The application is the Ready application with file upload functionality in the Profile section
-
Determine the installation dateCheck when the Ready application was installed or last updated; installations from late 2021 to early 2022 had the default misconfigurationAffected if Installation date falls between late 2021 and early 2022, or the specific vulnerable server configuration is present
-
Verify server configuration for uploaded filesInspect the server configuration (as documented in the Required Configuration for Exposure guidance) to determine if uploaded files are placed in a directory that permits executionAffected if Uploaded files are stored in a web-accessible directory with execute permissions enabled
-
Confirm file upload restrictionsTest or review the Profile section's file upload mechanism to determine if any file type or extension validation is enforcedAffected if The upload mechanism accepts any file type/extension without validation or restrictions
You are affected if you have a Ready application installation from late 2021 to early 2022 (or with that default configuration), and the server allows execution of uploaded files, and the Profile section's upload function lacks file type validation.

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.
From vendor dataRestrict file uploads to safe, expected file types and extensions only. Review and correct the server configuration referenced in the Required Configuration for Exposure documentation to prevent execution of uploaded files.
