CVE-2025-69176
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 ITactics <= 1.0 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 ITactics versions 1.0 and below allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files on the server by manipulating input parameters used in file inclusion operations. This high-severity issue can expose sensitive system files, configuration data, and credentials without requiring authentication.

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 ITactics installationIdentify if the target web application is ITactics by examining HTTP responses, page footers, HTML meta tags, or JavaScript references for ITactics branding or identifiersAffected if ITactics web application is present on the target server
-
Determine installed versionLocate version information in source code comments, configuration files, or API responses; compare against the affected version 1.0 and belowAffected if Installed version is 1.0 or lower (any version at or below 1.0 is vulnerable)
-
Locate file inclusion parametersIdentify URL parameters used for dynamic file loading such as 'page', 'file', 'include', 'template', or 'path' by reviewing application links, source code, or proxy logsAffected if Parameters accepting file paths are accessible without authentication
-
Verify LFI vulnerability existsSend a benign test request with path traversal (e.g., ../../../../etc/passwd or ../../../../windows/win.ini) to the identified file inclusion parameter and check if file contents are returned in the responseAffected if Server responds with contents of arbitrary system files, confirming unauthenticated LFI is possible
System is affected if ITactics version 1.0 or below is running and unauthenticated file inclusion parameters are exposed that allow path traversal 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 dataUpgrade ITactics to a version beyond 1.0 that includes proper input validation and sandboxing for file inclusion operations. If immediate patching is not possible, implement web application firewall rules to block directory traversal patterns in request parameters.
