CVE-2025-25759
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 · uneditedAn issue in the component admin_template.php of SUCMS v1.0 allows attackers to execute a directory traversal and arbitrary file deletion via a crafted GET request.
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 confidenceSUCMS v1.0 contains a directory traversal vulnerability in admin_template.php that allows unauthenticated or low-privilege attackers to traverse the filesystem and delete arbitrary files via specially crafted GET requests containing path traversal sequences (e.g., ../../) in the request parameters.

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.
-
Confirm SUCMS installationIdentify if SUCMS v1.0 is installed on the server by checking for typical installation directories, version files, or the presence of known SUCMS files in the web root.Affected if The application is Sucms Project Sucms version 1.0
-
Locate admin_template.phpSearch the web root directory for the file admin_template.php, which contains the vulnerable component.Affected if The file admin_template.php exists in the web application directory
-
Verify unauthenticated accessTest accessing admin_template.php directly via HTTP GET request without authentication credentials to determine if the endpoint is publicly exposed.Affected if The file responds to requests without requiring authentication
-
Inspect for path traversal codeReview the source code of admin_template.php and look for file operations (such as unlink, delete, or file inclusion functions) that accept user-controlled input without sanitizing ../ sequences.Affected if The code contains file operation functions using unsanitized GET/POST parameters
-
Check file deletion parametersExamine whether the file accepts and processes parameters that could accept path traversal sequences (e.g., ../) in file path arguments.Affected if The affected parameters accept path traversal input without validation
If SUCMS v1.0 is installed and admin_template.php is accessible with file deletion functionality using unsanitized path parameters, the environment is affected by CVE-2025-25759.

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 dataImplement strict input validation to reject path traversal sequences (..) and restrict file operations to an allowed directory whitelist. Additionally, enforce proper authentication and authorization checks on the affected component.
