CVE-2025-49200
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 created backup files are unencrypted, making the application vulnerable for gathering sensitive information by downloading and decompressing the backup files.
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 application creates backup files without encryption, allowing attackers who can access these files to download and decompress them, extracting any sensitive data contained within the backups.

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.
-
Locate backup configuration settingsAccess the Sick Field Analytics admin interface or configuration files. Look for settings related to backup creation, export, or data protection. Check configuration files (typically in /config or similar paths) for backup-related parameters.Affected if Backup configuration exists and encryption is set to disabled, not configured, or uses a weak/no encryption method.
-
Identify backup file storage locationCheck the application data directories or configured backup paths. Look for files with extensions like .zip, .tar, .gz, .bak, or backup-specific formats. Examine the application's storage or backup directory.Affected if Backup files are present and stored in an unencrypted format (plain archive/compressed files without encryption).
-
Inspect backup file headersOpen or inspect the backup files using a hex editor or archive tool (e.g., unzip, tar -tvf). Check if the archive requires a password or uses standard encryption headers (e.g., AES-256, ZIP crypto).Affected if Backup files open without password prompts or decryption, indicating no encryption is applied.
-
Review backup creation settingsExamine the backup creation workflow in the application. Look for settings labeled 'encrypt backup', 'secure backup', 'encryption method', or similar options. Check if encryption is mandatory or optional during backup generation.Affected if Encryption is optional during backup creation or the setting is absent/disabled.
-
Check application-level data protection settingsLook for global security or data protection settings in the application. Search for encryption-related configuration keys in config files or the admin panel.Affected if No encryption requirement is enforced for backup files, or encryption is set to 'none'.
You are affected if backup files in your Sick Field Analytics installation are stored without encryption or if backup encryption is disabled/not configured in the application settings.

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 dataEnable encryption for all backup files using strong encryption algorithms (e.g., AES-256) and secure key management to protect sensitive data at rest.
