CVE-2025-47603
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 Belingo belingoGeo belingogeo allows Path Traversal.This issue affects belingoGeo: from n/a through <= 1.12.0.
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 belingoGeo allows attackers to access files outside the intended restricted directory. The vulnerability exists in version 1.12.0 and below, potentially allowing unauthorized file system access through specially crafted path inputs.

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 belingoGeo is installedSearch for belingoGeo in your application inventory, package manager, or installed software list. Look for directories or files containing 'belingoGeo' in the installation path.Affected if belingoGeo software is found on the system
-
Determine the installed versionCheck the version of belingoGeo by inspecting version files, metadata, or running version commands (such as belingoGeo --version or examining package.json/version.txt). Compare the version number to 1.12.0.Affected if The installed version is 1.12.0 or lower, or if the version cannot be determined and belingoGeo is present
-
Locate the file handling functionalityExamine the belingoGeo installation directory for file operation code, particularly modules that handle file paths, uploads, or file serving. Look for functions that accept user input as file paths.Affected if File handling code that processes path inputs is present in the installation
-
Inspect path handling implementationReview the source code or binary configuration for path traversal validation. Check if path inputs are used directly in file operations without proper sanitization or canonicalization checks.Affected if File path operations accept user-supplied input without validated path traversal checks (no validation of '..' sequences or directory bounds)
-
Verify exposed attack surfaceCheck network-exposed endpoints, APIs, or configuration files that accept file path parameters. Determine if the file handling functionality is accessible remotely or through user input.Affected if File path handling features are accessible via API endpoints, web interfaces, or user-facing functionality
You are affected if belingoGeo version 1.12.0 or below is installed and the file handling functionality with path traversal vulnerability is exposed and accessible.

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 path validation and canonicalization to ensure all file paths resolve within the intended directory boundaries. Use allowlists for permitted file operations and reject any input containing path traversal sequences (.. or absolute paths).
