CVE-2025-69150
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 Medeus <= 1.14 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 Medeus versions 1.14 and below allows remote attackers to read sensitive local files on the server by manipulating file path parameters, potentially exposing 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.
-
Identify Medeus installation and versionLocate the Medeus application and determine its installed version number. This may be found in the application header, an about page, a version file, or the software bill of materials. Use commands like 'ls -la', check the web application banner, or inspect the application's main entry point for a version string.Affected if The installed version is 1.14 or lower.
-
Locate file inclusion functionalityIdentify the application's file inclusion or file loading features. These are typically endpoints, parameters, or functions that accept file paths as input. Common indicators include parameters named 'file', 'path', 'page', 'template', 'include', or similar. Search the application's source code, API endpoints, or web routes for dynamic file loading functions.Affected if Dynamic file inclusion features exist and accept user-supplied file paths without proper validation.
-
Verify the vulnerable endpoint is accessibleTest unauthenticated access to the identified file inclusion endpoints. Attempt to access known file inclusion parameters via HTTP GET or POST requests without providing authentication credentials.Affected if The file inclusion endpoints are reachable without authentication.
-
Check for input validation on file path parametersInspect the application's code or configuration to determine whether file path parameters undergo strict validation. Look for whitelist approaches, path sanitization, or restrictions that prevent traversal sequences like '../' or absolute path inputs.Affected if Input validation is absent, weak, or can be bypassed, allowing directory traversal or arbitrary file access.
The environment is affected if Medeus version 1.14 or lower is installed AND the application exposes unauthenticated file inclusion functionality that lacks proper input validation on file path parameters.

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 1.14. If immediate upgrade is not possible, implement strict input validation and disable dynamic file inclusion functionality.
