CVE-2025-59304
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 · uneditedA directory traversal issue in Swetrix Web Analytics API 3.1.1 before 7d8b972 allows a remote attacker to achieve Remote Code Execution via a crafted HTTP 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 · moderate confidenceA directory traversal vulnerability in Swetrix Web Analytics API version 3.1.1 allows remote attackers to inject path traversal sequences (e.g., ../../) via crafted HTTP requests, enabling arbitrary file access that escalates to Remote Code Execution.

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 Swetrix installation presenceIdentify whether Swetrix Web Analytics is installed in your environment. Look for Swetrix application files, services, or containers running Swetrix software.Affected if Swetrix software is present in your environment
-
Determine installed Swetrix versionLocate and inspect the version information for your Swetrix installation. Check version files, package manifests, or query the API endpoint for version details if accessible.Affected if Installed version is 4.0.0 or lower (any version <= 4.0.0)
-
Verify API exposureDetermine if the Swetrix Web Analytics API (the component containing the directory traversal vulnerability) is exposed to network access. Check firewall rules, reverse proxy configurations, and service binding settings.Affected if API endpoints are externally or broadly accessible beyond intended scope
-
Check API path parameter handlingReview API configuration and access logs for any evidence of path traversal attempts or inspect whether API endpoints accept file path parameters without strict validation.Affected if API accepts path parameters without validated sanitization
Your environment is affected if Swetrix version 4.0.0 or lower is installed and its API component is accessible, allowing path traversal sequences to reach the vulnerable file handling logic.

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 · scopedUpgrade to version 7d8b972 or later. Implement strict input validation on all file path parameters, restrict file access to allowed directories, and apply principle of least privilege to the web server process.
Version 4.0.1 or later (any release after 4.0.0 that includes commit 7d8b972)
- 1. Backup the current Swetrix installation and database before upgrading
- 2. Navigate to the Swetrix installation directory
- 3. Pull the latest changes from the upstream repository: git pull origin main
- 4. Verify the upgrade by checking the git commit matches or is after 7d8b972
- 5. Restart the Swetrix service to apply changes
- 6. Verify the application is functioning correctly post-upgrade
