CVE-2025-30005
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 · uneditedXorcom CompletePBX is vulnerable to a path traversal via the Diagnostics reporting module, which will allow reading of arbitrary files and additionally delete any retrieved file in place of the expected report. This issue affects CompletePBX: all versions up to and prior to 5.2.35
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 confidenceXorcom CompletePBX contains a path traversal vulnerability in its Diagnostics reporting module. An attacker can exploit this to read arbitrary files on the system by manipulating file path inputs, and can additionally delete any retrieved files in place of the expected diagnostic report output.

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.
-
Check CompletePBX installed versionUse the system version command or check /etc/version file to determine the installed CompletePBX versionAffected if The installed version is less than 5.2.36.1 (or 5.2.35 depending on the patch version - verify against official release notes)
-
Verify Diagnostics reporting module statusCheck if the Diagnostics module is enabled and accessible on the system - look for web endpoints or CLI tools related to diagnostics reportingAffected if The Diagnostics reporting module is enabled and exposed to network users
-
Review module access controlsInspect access control configurations for the Diagnostics module to determine if it is restricted to trusted users onlyAffected if The Diagnostics module allows access from untrusted networks or users without authentication
-
Audit recent Diagnostics module access logsReview system and web server logs for requests to the Diagnostics reporting feature, focusing on unusual file path patternsAffected if Log entries show path traversal attempts (e.g., ../../etc/passwd) or requests for system files through the Diagnostics module
You are affected if your CompletePBX version is below 5.2.36.1 and the Diagnostics reporting module is accessible to untrusted users.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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.
dbcve · scoped5.2.36.1
Upgrade to CompletePBX version 5.2.35 or later which contains the patch. Until then, restrict access to the Diagnostics reporting module to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious file access patterns.
5.2.36.1 or later
- 1. Identify the current installed version of CompletePBX by checking the system administration interface or running the appropriate version command.
- 2. Obtain the CompletePBX version 5.2.36.1 or later from the official Xorcom distribution channels.
- 3. Perform a full backup of the CompletePBX system including all configurations, recordings, and call data before upgrading.
- 4. Execute the upgrade to version 5.2.36.1 or later following the standard CompletePBX upgrade procedure documented by Xorcom.
- 5. After upgrade completion, verify the Diagnostics reporting module is functioning correctly and that path traversal restrictions are enforced.
- 6. Confirm the new version is running by checking the system version information.
