CVE-2025-69170
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 Eventicity <= 1.5 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 (LFI) vulnerability in Eventicity version 1.5 and below allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files on the server by manipulating file path parameters without authentication. The high CVSS score of 8.1 reflects the low attack complexity and high confidentiality impact of exposing sensitive system files.

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 Eventicity installationLocate the Eventicity application directory and identify the installed version by checking version files, headers, or the application's about/info pageAffected if Eventicity version 1.5 or lower is installed
-
Identify file path handling functionalityReview the web application's source code or configuration to locate endpoints or parameters that accept file paths as input, particularly in features related to file viewing, include, or template loadingAffected if The application contains code that uses user-supplied input to include or read files from the filesystem
-
Verify authentication is not enforced on file path parametersInspect the application's access control configuration and authentication mechanisms for endpoints that handle file path parametersAffected if File path parameters can be accessed without any authentication token or session
-
Test for directory traversal in file path parametersSend HTTP requests with directory traversal sequences (such as ../../etc/passwd) to endpoints that accept file paths, without providing authentication credentialsAffected if The application returns the contents of system files when directory traversal sequences are used in unauthenticated requests
The environment is affected if Eventicity version 1.5 or lower is running and the application exposes file path parameters that can be manipulated without authentication 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.
From vendor dataImplement strict input validation and sanitization for file path parameters, use whitelist-based file access controls, and consider disabling directory traversal functionality. Upgrade to a patched version if available.
