CVE-2025-32671
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 · uneditedImproper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in John Weissberg Print Science Designer print-science-designer allows Path Traversal.This issue affects Print Science Designer: from n/a through <= 1.3.155.
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 confidenceA path traversal vulnerability in Print Science Designer allows attackers to access files outside the intended restricted directory by manipulating file path inputs with '..' sequences. This could enable unauthorized read/write access to sensitive filesystem locations.

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 if Print Science Designer is installedLocate the application installation directory or check system for installed software named 'Print Science Designer'Affected if The application is not installed on the system
-
Determine the installed version of Print Science DesignerCheck the application's About page, installation logs, or version file within the program directoryAffected if The installed version cannot be determined or is not documented in available release notes
-
Verify if file handling or template features are enabledExamine the application configuration files or feature settings to confirm if file path handling modules are activeAffected if File path handling features are not present or are disabled in the configuration
-
Check for web interface or API exposure of file handling functionsReview network service listings or application logs for endpoints that accept file path parameters, especially those that may be used with user-supplied pathsAffected if The application exposes file handling functionality through web interfaces or APIs accessible to users
-
Inspect application logs for path traversal attemptsReview application access and error logs for patterns containing '..' sequences in file path parametersAffected if Logs show evidence of path traversal attempts or related security events
A system is affected if Print Science Designer is installed with file handling functionality enabled and exposed, and the installed version falls within any vulnerable release range that may exist for this path traversal issue.

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 and canonicalization of file paths, ensuring paths resolve within the intended base directory and reject any path containing traversal sequences like '..'.
