CVE-2025-69171
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 Orpheus <= 1.3 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 Orpheus version 1.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files on the server without authentication, resulting in potential sensitive data exposure.

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 Orpheus installation and versionLocate the Orpheus application directory or check the web service banner for version information. Common methods include reviewing the application's main page, checking version files in the installation directory, or querying the service for its banner/version endpoint.Affected if The installed version is Orpheus 1.3 or any version prior to 1.3.
-
Confirm the application is network-accessibleDetermine if the Orpheus web interface is exposed to the network by checking the web server configuration or attempting to access the application URL from an external location.Affected if The Orpheus application is reachable over the network without authentication barriers.
-
Identify file inclusion endpointsReview the application's source code or configuration to locate file inclusion functions or dynamic file loading mechanisms. Check for parameters that accept file paths in URL requests.Affected if The application contains file inclusion functionality that processes user-supplied file paths without strict validation.
-
Verify authentication requirementsTest the identified file inclusion endpoints by sending requests without credentials or session tokens to determine if they can be accessed anonymously.Affected if File inclusion endpoints are accessible without any authentication.
-
Check for input validation controlsInspect the application's code or configuration for path sanitization, allowlist validation, or other input filtering on file inclusion functions.Affected if No input validation or path sanitization is implemented on the file inclusion functionality.
You are affected if Orpheus version 1.3 or earlier is installed and network-accessible with unauthenticated file inclusion functionality exposed.

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 Orpheus to a version beyond 1.3 if available, or implement strict input validation and path sanitization to prevent directory traversal in file inclusion functions.
