CVE-2025-66955
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 · uneditedLocal File Inclusion in Contact Plan, E-Mail, SMS and Fax components in Asseco SEE Live 2.0 allows remote authenticated users to access files on the host via "path" parameter in the downloadAttachment and downloadAttachmentFromPath API calls.
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 · high confidenceLocal File Inclusion vulnerability in Asseco SEE Live 2.0 allows remote authenticated users to access arbitrary files on the host via the 'path' parameter in downloadAttachment and downloadAttachmentFromPath API calls within Contact Plan, E-Mail, SMS, and Fax components.

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.
-
Verify Asseco Live 2.0 installationLocate the application installation directory or check the web interface for version information. Common paths may include /opt/asseco-live, /var/www/asseco, or consult system inventory/CMDB for the application.Affected if The installed version is Asseco Live 2.0 exactly.
-
Confirm API endpoints are accessibleCheck if the application exposes API endpoints for downloadAttachment or downloadAttachmentFromPath. These are typically found under /api/contacts, /api/email, /api/sms, or /api/fax paths. Inspect the application's routing configuration or web server logs for these endpoints.Affected if The downloadAttachment or downloadAttachmentFromPath API endpoints are reachable without being explicitly disabled.
-
Verify authentication is required for the APIReview the application's access control configuration to confirm that the vulnerable endpoints require valid authentication. Check if anonymous access is permitted to the Contact Plan, E-Mail, SMS, or Fax API components.Affected if The API endpoints are accessible to unauthenticated users or users without proper role-based access to the affected components.
-
Inspect path parameter handlingExamine the application's request handling for the 'path' parameter in the affected API calls. Review any path traversal validation logic in the application configuration or middleware.Affected if The application does not perform strict validation or allowlisting on the 'path' parameter, permitting directory traversal sequences like ../
-
Check API access controls for Contact Plan, E-Mail, SMS, and FaxReview the role-based access control (RBAC) or permission settings for each affected component. Verify whether all authenticated users have access to downloadAttachment functions or if access is restricted to authorized roles only.Affected if Authenticated users with basic access can invoke downloadAttachment or downloadAttachmentFromPath in any of the four affected components.
You are affected if Asseco Live 2.0 is running and the downloadAttachment/downloadAttachmentFromPath APIs in Contact Plan, E-Mail, SMS, or Fax components are accessible to authenticated users without strict path allowlisting on the 'path' parameter.

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 path allowlisting on the 'path' parameter; restrict API access to authorized users only and apply vendor patches when available.
