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
Unauthenticated Local File Inclusion in Right Way <= 4.0 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 confidence

Unauthenticated Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability in Right Way software versions 4.0 and below. The flaw allows remote attackers to read sensitive files on the server without authentication via manipulation of file inclusion parameters.

MitigationUpgrade to a version beyond 4.0; implement strict input validation and whitelist-based file access controls on all file inclusion mechanisms; disable PHP functions used for file operations if not required.

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 Right Way software installation
    Locate the Right Way software installation directory and check for version information files (such as version.php, info.php, or a config file containing version metadata)
    Affected if The installed version is 4.0 or lower, or if no version file is found but the software is confirmed as Right Way
  2. Determine if file inclusion parameters are exposed
    Search the application source code for file inclusion functions (include, require, include_once, require_once, fopen with file paths, or similar) and identify parameters that accept user input (GET, POST, or COOKIE parameters)
    Affected if File inclusion parameters that accept user-supplied input are present and reachable without authentication
  3. Verify unauthenticated access to file inclusion endpoints
    Attempt to access identified file inclusion parameters directly (without authentication cookies or tokens) using a web request tool to confirm they are accessible without login
    Affected if The file inclusion endpoints respond without requiring authentication
  4. Check for sensitive file exposure
    Test the file inclusion parameter with path traversal sequences (such as ../../../../etc/passwd or similar) to confirm the LFI vulnerability is exploitable
    Affected if The application returns contents of files outside the web root when path traversal is used

A user is affected if Right Way software version 4.0 or below is installed AND unauthenticated file inclusion parameters are accessible 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.
