CVE-2026-2250
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 · uneditedThe /dbviewer/ web endpoint in METIS WIC devices is exposed without authentication. A remote attacker can access and export the internal telemetry SQLite database containing sensitive operational data. Additionally, the application is configured with debug mode enabled, causing malformed requests to return verbose Django tracebacks that disclose backend source code, local file paths, and system configuration.
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 · high confidenceThe /dbviewer/ endpoint in METIS WIC devices lacks authentication, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to access and export an internal SQLite telemetry database containing sensitive operational data. Additionally, debug mode remains enabled in production, causing malformed requests to return verbose Django stack traces that expose backend source code, local file paths, and system configuration details.

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.
-
Verify /dbviewer endpoint is accessibleSend an HTTP GET request to the /dbviewer/ endpoint on the target METIS WIC device without providing any authentication credentialsAffected if The endpoint responds with database contents or accepts the request without returning an authentication error (401/403)
-
Confirm debug mode is enabled in Django settingsLocate the Django settings file (typically settings.py or settings/__init__.py) and check if the DEBUG variable is set to True, or inspect runtime configuration for debug flag statusAffected if DEBUG is set to True in the configuration
-
Test for verbose error disclosureSend a malformed or intentionally invalid HTTP request (such as a request with malformed headers, invalid URL encoding, or missing required parameters) to any endpoint on the METIS WIC deviceAffected if The response contains Django traceback information, source code snippets, local file paths, or system configuration details instead of a generic error page
-
Check if telemetry database can be exportedIf /dbviewer/ is accessible, attempt to use any export or download functionality provided by the endpoint to retrieve the SQLite telemetry databaseAffected if The database file or its contents are returned without requiring authentication
A user is affected if the /dbviewer/ endpoint is accessible without authentication and debug mode is enabled, allowing exposure of database contents and verbose stack traces.

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 debug mode in production and implement authentication/authorization controls on the /dbviewer/ endpoint to prevent unauthorized access to the telemetry database and eliminate information disclosure via verbose error messages.
