CVE-2025-8590
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 · uneditedExposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor vulnerability in AKCE Software Technology R&D Industry and Trade Inc. SKSPro allows Directory Indexing. This issue affects SKSPro: through 07012026.
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 confidenceSKSPro web application has directory indexing enabled, allowing unauthenticated attackers to view file listings in directories that lack default index files. This exposes potentially sensitive files including configuration files, source code, or other application resources that should not be publicly accessible.

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 SKSPro is runningIdentify the web server serving SKSPro (Apache, Nginx, IIS, or embedded). Check process list or network listeners on ports 80/443.Affected if SKSPro is accessible via web and no authentication is required to reach it
-
Test directory listing exposureAccess a known directory path in SKSPro that should not contain an index file (e.g., /config/, /data/, /uploads/, or root /). Use a browser or curl to request that URL.Affected if The directory returns a file listing showing contents rather than a 403 Forbidden or redirect to login
-
Check web server configurationReview the web server config file (Apache: httpd.conf or .htaccess; Nginx: nginx.conf; IIS: web.config) for 'Options +Indexes' or 'autoindex on' directives related to SKSPro directories.Affected if Directory indexing is explicitly enabled or not explicitly disabled for SKSPro paths
-
Verify default index file presenceList files in SKSPro application directories (web root, subdirectories like /config, /data, /logs). Check if index.html, index.php, or default.htm exist in each directory.Affected if Directories accessible via web lack default index files and directory listing is not disabled at server level
The environment is affected if unauthenticated web access to any SKSPro directory returns a file listing instead of restricting access.

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 dataDisable directory listing/indexing in the web server configuration (Apache, Nginx, or IIS depending on deployment) and ensure default index files exist in all application directories.
