CVE-2025-69148
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 Quirky <= 1.23 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 Quirky versions 1.23 and below allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files from the server filesystem without authentication, potentially exposing sensitive configuration files, credentials, or source code.

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.
-
Confirm Quirky installationIdentify if the Quirky application is present in your environment. Look for web service banners, installed packages, or running processes associated with Quirky.Affected if Quirky is not installed - not affected; if installed, proceed to version check.
-
Determine installed versionLocate and inspect the Quirky version information. Check configuration files, application headers, the web interface version display, or package management tools for the installed version number.Affected if Version is 1.23 or lower - vulnerable to CVE-2025-69148.
-
Identify file inclusion endpointLocate the web interface or API endpoint that handles file path parameters. Common patterns include endpoints with 'file', 'path', 'page', or 'include' in the URL parameters.Affected if The application exposes any endpoint that accepts file path input without authentication.
-
Verify authentication requirementAttempt to access the identified file inclusion endpoint without providing credentials. Observe whether the request is processed or rejected due to authentication.Affected if The endpoint processes requests without requiring authentication - vulnerable to unauthenticated exploitation.
-
Test for LFI vulnerabilitySend a crafted request with a known file path (such as /etc/passwd or a local configuration file) to the file inclusion endpoint without authentication. Check if the file contents are returned.Affected if Arbitrary file contents are returned in the response - confirmed vulnerable to CVE-2025-69148.
Your environment is affected if Quirky version 1.23 or lower is installed and the file inclusion endpoint accepts unauthenticated requests that can read arbitrary files from the server.

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 to a version newer than 1.23; if no patch is available, implement strict input validation on file path parameters and restrict filesystem access permissions to limit exposure.
