CVE-2025-69126
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 Fortius <= 2.3.0 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 Fortius version 2.3.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files on the server by manipulating file path parameters without proper validation.

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.
-
Locate Fortius application installationSearch for Fortius web application files, services, or containers running Fortius. Check common installation directories, web server document roots, or container registries where Fortius may be deployed.Affected if Fortius version 2.3.0 or earlier is found running or installed
-
Determine installed Fortius versionInspect version files, banner information, or administrative interfaces within the Fortius application. Compare the discovered version against the affected range (2.3.0 and earlier).Affected if The installed version is 2.3.0 or any earlier version
-
Identify web endpoints accepting file path parametersReview Fortius routing configuration, API definitions, or web server logs to find endpoints that accept file path arguments (e.g., parameters named 'file', 'path', 'template', 'page', or similar that reference server files).Affected if Endpoints accepting file path parameters are exposed without authentication
-
Test for unauthenticated path traversal accessSend crafted requests with path traversal sequences (e.g., ../../../../etc/passwd) to identified endpoints to verify if the application returns file contents without authentication.Affected if The application returns file contents from path traversal requests without requiring authentication
A user is affected if Fortius version 2.3.0 or earlier is running and web endpoints accepting file path parameters are accessible without authentication, allowing arbitrary file reads via path traversal.

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 dataUpgrade Fortius to a version newer than 2.3.0, or implement web application firewall rules to block path traversal patterns in the interim if patching is not immediately feasible.
