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 Nexio <= 1.10.0 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 (LFI) vulnerability in Nexio version 1.10.0 and below allows remote attackers to read sensitive files on the server filesystem without any authentication credentials, potentially exposing configuration files, credentials, or other sensitive data.

MitigationUpgrade to a patched version of Nexio if available, or implement strict input validation and 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 Nexio installation version
    Locate and inspect the Nexio application installation directory. Look for version information in configuration files, about pages, or the main application binary. Common locations include version.txt, about/info, or the main executable metadata.
    Affected if The installed version is 1.10.0 or any version below 1.10.0 (e.g., 1.9.x, 1.8.x, etc.)
  2. Locate file inclusion endpoints
    Review the application's URL structure and parameters. Look for patterns commonly associated with file inclusion such as: file=, page=, path=, include=, template=, or similar parameters in HTTP requests.
    Affected if The application exposes any file inclusion parameter that accepts user-supplied input without server-side validation.
  3. Verify lack of authentication requirement
    Attempt to access identified file inclusion endpoints without providing any authentication credentials or session tokens. Observe whether the application processes the request or returns an authentication error.
    Affected if File inclusion endpoints are accessible and process requests without requiring any authentication.
  4. Test for directory traversal capability
    Send a crafted request to the file inclusion parameter using directory traversal sequences such as ../../../../etc/passwd or similar paths, observing whether the application returns file contents outside the intended directory.
    Affected if The application returns contents of files outside the intended web root directory when traversal sequences are used in the parameter.

A user is affected if they are running Nexio version 1.10.0 or below AND the application exposes an unauthenticated file inclusion parameter that permits directory traversal to read arbitrary files.

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.
