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 confidencePath traversal vulnerability using '.../...//' sequence in the WP Hotel Booking plugin allows attackers to perform Local File Inclusion (LFI) to include arbitrary PHP files from the server, potentially leading to code execution.

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 WP Hotel Booking plugin is installedCheck your WordPress plugins directory or use WP-CLI: wp plugin list --name='wp-hotel-booking' or inspect the file system at wp-content/plugins/wp-hotel-booking/Affected if The plugin directory exists and contains WP Hotel Booking files
-
Determine installed plugin versionCheck the plugin header in wp-content/plugins/wp-hotel-booking/wp-hotel-booking.php for 'Version:' value, or use WP-CLI: wp plugin get wp-hotel-booking --field=versionAffected if Version is 2.1.4 or lower
-
Identify file inclusion endpointsSearch plugin source code for include, require, or file_get_contents calls that use user-supplied parameters (look for $_GET, $_POST, or similar in file inclusion functions)Affected if The plugin processes file path parameters without proper sanitization
-
Check for path traversal in access logsSearch web server access logs (usually in /var/log/nginx/ or /var/log/apache2/) for requests containing the sequence '.../...//' targeting PHP files, for example: grep -E '\.\./\.\./' /var/log/apache2/access.logAffected if Log entries show requests with the '.../...//' traversal pattern to PHP files on your site
Your environment is affected if WP Hotel Booking plugin version is 2.1.4 or lower and the plugin exposes file inclusion functionality that can be reached by unauthenticated users.
