CVE-2025-69105
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 · uneditedUnauthenticated Local File Inclusion in Modernee <= 1.6.0 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 confidenceUnauthenticated Local File Inclusion vulnerability in Modernee CMS versions 1.6.0 and below allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files on the server by manipulating file path parameters without authentication.

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 Modernee CMS installationLook for Modernee CMS in your web application directory or check HTTP response headers for 'Modernee' or 'modernee' identifiersAffected if Modernee CMS is present in the environment
-
Determine installed Modernee CMS versionCheck the version file, admin panel, or version disclosure endpoint within the Modernee installation; compare the version number to 1.6.0Affected if The installed version is 1.6.0 or lower
-
Locate file handling endpointsReview application source code or scan for PHP files that accept file path parameters (e.g., parameters named 'file', 'path', 'page', 'template', 'include', or similar)Affected if The application contains endpoints that process user-supplied file path parameters
-
Verify lack of authentication on vulnerable pathsAttempt to access common Modernee routes without providing any authentication credentialsAffected if Unauthenticated access to file-inclusion endpoints is allowed without redirection to a login page
-
Check for directory traversal protectionReview the code handling file path parameters for validation logic; look for sanitization functions or allowlist checks on the parameter valuesAffected if The code lacks input validation or allows directory traversal sequences (e.g., '../', '..\') in file path parameters
If Modernee CMS version 1.6.0 or lower is installed AND unauthenticated file path parameters exist without proper input validation, the environment is affected by this LFI vulnerability.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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 a patched version of Modernee or implement strict input validation and path sanitization on file inclusion functions to prevent directory traversal attacks.
Latest version of Modernee (version higher than 1.6.0)
- 1. Identify all instances of Modernee plugin/theme in your environment
- 2. Check current installed version of Modernee
- 3. If version is 1.6.0 or below, plan for upgrade
- 4. Before upgrading in production, backup the entire application and database
- 5. Upgrade Modernee to the latest available version (version higher than 1.6.0)
- 6. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the new version number
- 7. Test critical functionality to ensure the upgrade did not break existing features
- 8. Monitor logs for any signs of exploitation attempts
