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 WineShop <= 3.17 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 WineShop version 3.17 and below allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files on the server by manipulating input parameters used in file inclusion operations without any authentication.

MitigationUpgrade WineShop to a version beyond 3.17 or implement strict input validation with allowlisting, disable dynamic file inclusion, and apply principle of least privilege to file system access.

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 WineShop installation
    Identify if WineShop application is present on the system by checking for the WineShop web directory, binary, or running service
    Affected if WineShop is installed and running
  2. Determine installed WineShop version
    Locate and read the version file, banner, or admin interface that displays the WineShop version number
    Affected if Version is 3.17 or lower
  3. Verify web interface accessibility
    Check if the WineShop HTTP/HTTPS endpoint is exposed and reachable without authentication
    Affected if Web interface is accessible without credentials
  4. Test for LFI vulnerability
    Attempt to access a known local file (such as /etc/passwd or a configuration file) through the file inclusion parameter in the URL or request
    Affected if Server returns contents of arbitrary files when manipulated parameters are supplied
  5. Check for dynamic file inclusion feature
    Inspect the application configuration or source code for dynamic file inclusion functionality that uses user-supplied input
    Affected if Dynamic file inclusion is enabled and accepts user input without validation

A system is affected if WineShop version 3.17 or below is installed, the web interface is accessible without authentication, and file inclusion parameters can be manipulated 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.

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

Upgrade WineShop to a version beyond 3.17 or implement strict input validation with allowlisting, disable dynamic file inclusion, and apply principle of least privilege to file system access.
