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 · uneditedImproper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP Remote File Inclusion') vulnerability in IdeaBox Creations PowerPack Lite for Beaver Builder powerpack-addon-for-beaver-builder.This issue affects PowerPack Lite for Beaver Builder: from n/a through <= 1.3.0.3.
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 confidenceA Remote File Inclusion (RFI) vulnerability in the PowerPack Lite for Beaver Builder plugin allows attackers to include arbitrary remote files via improperly validated user input in PHP include/require statements. This can lead to remote code execution. The vulnerability exists in versions 1.3.0.3 and below.

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.
-
Check plugin versionLocate the plugin's main file (powerpack-lite-beaver-builder/powerpack.php) or readme.txt and look for the Version header or changelog entry. In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and find PowerPack Lite for Beaver Builder to see its version number.Affected if The installed version is 1.3.0.3 or lower, meaning it is before the patched version 1.3.0.4.
-
Verify plugin is activeIn WordPress admin, navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins and confirm whether PowerPack Lite for Beaver Builder is currently activated.Affected if The plugin is active and the version is in the affected range, exposing the vulnerability.
-
Identify vulnerable code patternsIf file access is available, examine PHP files in the plugin directory for include, include_once, require, or require_once statements that use unsanitized variables (such as $_GET, $_POST, or $_REQUEST) directly in the path. Look for patterns like 'include($_REQUEST["..."]' without validation functions.Affected if The plugin contains include/require statements using user input without proper validation, confirming the vulnerable code is present.
-
Check for module exposureThe RFI vulnerability typically affects frontend-facing functionality. If accessible, review the Beaver Builder page builder settings where PowerPack modules are used, as the vulnerable code likely executes when certain module parameters are submitted.Affected if PowerPack modules that use the vulnerable include/require logic are accessible to users, creating an exploitable attack surface.
You are affected if PowerPack Lite for Beaver Builder is installed at version 1.3.0.3 or below AND the plugin is active, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary remote files via improper validation in include/require statements.

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.
dbcve · scoped1.3.0.4
Upgrade to a patched version of PowerPack Lite for Beaver Builder that implements proper input validation on all include/require statements to prevent arbitrary file inclusion. If no patch exists, disable the plugin until a fix is available.
PowerPack Lite for Beaver Builder version 1.3.0.4
- Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard
- Navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins
- Find PowerPack Lite for Beaver Builder (or Powerpack For Beaver Builder) in the plugin list
