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 · unedited
Unauthenticated Local File Inclusion in Learnify <= 1.15.0 versions.

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 confidence

Unauthenticated Local File Inclusion vulnerability in Learnify version 1.15.0 and below allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files on the server by manipulating input parameters used in file inclusion operations without requiring authentication.

MitigationUpgrade Learnify to a version newer than 1.15.0, or implement strict input validation with allowlist filtering and proper path sanitization on file inclusion parameters to prevent directory traversal attacks.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify Learnify installation
    Locate the Learnify application on the server. Check common web root directories for a folder named 'learnify' or search for files containing 'Learnify' in headers or metadata.
    Affected if Learnify is installed on the server
  2. Determine installed version
    Check version files within the Learnify installation directory, such as a version.php, composer.json, or package.json file that specifies the Learnify version.
    Affected if The installed version is 1.15.0 or lower
  3. Identify exposed file inclusion parameters
    Review web application traffic or logs for requests to Learnify endpoints that accept file path parameters, commonly in parameters like 'file', 'page', 'template', 'path', or 'include'. Use grep or a web proxy to examine GET/POST parameters.
    Affected if File inclusion parameters are accessible without authentication
  4. Test for directory traversal
    Send a crafted request with '../' sequences in file inclusion parameters, such as '../../etc/passwd' or '....//....//....//etc/passwd', to see if the server returns file contents.
    Affected if The application returns the contents of files outside the intended directory, indicating the vulnerability is present

A user is affected if Learnify version 1.15.0 or below is installed and the application exposes file inclusion parameters that allow directory traversal without authentication.
