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
Organization Portal System developed by WellChoose has a Local File Inclusion vulnerability, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on the server.

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

The WellChoose Organization Portal System suffers from a Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to include arbitrary files from the server filesystem, leading to remote code execution. Attackers can exploit this by manipulating file path parameters to traverse directories and execute malicious code, typically by including web shells or sensitive configuration files.

MitigationImplement strict input validation and whitelisting for file path parameters, disable directory traversal capabilities, and consider removing or securing the file inclusion functionality entirely if not business-critical.

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. Identify installed version of WellChoose Organization Portal System
    Locate the application version information in the system admin panel, about page, or check version files in the webroot directory. Compare against the affected version range: < IFTOP_P3_2_1_197
    Affected if The installed version is IFTOP_P3_2_1_197 or any version lower than this value
  2. Confirm file inclusion functionality is present
    Review the application's source code or documentation to identify any file inclusion features, particularly those that accept file path parameters from user input
    Affected if The application contains functionality that accepts file paths as parameters without proper validation
  3. Locate file path parameters in the application
    Identify HTTP request parameters that accept file or path values. Common parameter names include 'file', 'path', 'page', 'include', 'template', or similar. Check GET and POST requests.
    Affected if The application exposes parameters that accept file path values that could be manipulated for directory traversal
  4. Check for directory traversal vulnerability
    Test identified file path parameters with directory traversal sequences such as ../../../../etc/passwd or ../../../../windows/win.ini. Observe if the application returns content from outside the intended directory.
    Affected if The application returns file contents from arbitrary locations on the server when traversal sequences are used

A user is affected if the WellChoose Organization Portal System version is lower than IFTOP_P3_2_1_197 AND the application exposes file path parameters that are vulnerable to directory traversal manipulation.

Mitigation

Implement strict input validation and whitelisting for file path parameters, disable directory traversal capabilities, and consider removing or securing the file inclusion functionality entirely if not business-critical.

Recommended fix High confidence

IFTOP_P3_2_1_197 or later

  1. Identify the current installed version of the Organization Portal System by WellChoose
  2. If the current version is lower than IFTOP_P3_2_1_197, obtain the fixed version (IFTOP_P3_2_1_197 or later) from the vendor
  3. Backup the current installation and database before upgrading
  4. Apply the upgrade following the vendor's documented upgrade procedure
  5. Verify the installation and test that the LFI vulnerability is no longer exploitable
