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 Snow Club <= 1.1 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 Snow Club <= 1.1 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files on the server by manipulating file inclusion parameters, potentially exposing sensitive configuration files, credentials, or source code.

MitigationUpgrade to a patched version of Snow Club. If no patch is available, implement strict input validation on file inclusion parameters and disable dynamic file inclusion functionality.

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. Confirm Snow Club CMS installation
    Identify if the web application running is Snow Club CMS by checking application files, headers, or typical installation paths for this CMS product
    Affected if The system is running Snow Club CMS
  2. Check installed version
    Locate the version file, about page, or admin panel that displays the CMS version number. Compare against affected range: version 1.1 and below
    Affected if Installed version is 1.1 or lower
  3. Verify unauthenticated access is possible
    Confirm the web application does not require authentication to access the main interface or specific functionality. Since this is an unauthenticated LFI, the attack surface is accessible without credentials
    Affected if The application or specific endpoints are accessible without authentication
  4. Identify file inclusion functionality
    Locate the file inclusion code or endpoints in the CMS. Look for dynamic file inclusion using user-supplied input such as include(), require(), or similar functions
    Affected if The CMS uses dynamic file inclusion with user input without sanitization
  5. Test for LFI vulnerability
    Attempt a safe test of the file inclusion parameter by supplying a known file path (such as a common system file) as input to see if the application returns file contents. Perform only on systems you have authorization to test
    Affected if The application returns contents of arbitrary files when path traversal input is provided

If Snow Club CMS version 1.1 or below is running and the file inclusion functionality is accessible without authentication, the environment is affected by this LFI vulnerability.

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 data
Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Upgrade to a patched version of Snow Club. If no patch is available, implement strict input validation on file inclusion parameters and disable dynamic file inclusion functionality.
