CVE-2024-53824
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 all_bootstrap_blocks All Bootstrap Blocks all-bootstrap-blocks allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects All Bootstrap Blocks: from n/a through <= 1.3.19.
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 All Bootstrap Blocks WordPress plugin (versions <= 1.3.19) contains a Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability in its all_bootstrap_blocks component. This improper control of filename for include/require statements allows attackers to include arbitrary PHP files from the server filesystem, potentially leading to remote code execution if they can control or manipulate the included file paths.

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 the All Bootstrap Blocks plugin is installedCheck the WordPress plugins directory for the All Bootstrap Blocks plugin folder and inspect the main plugin file for version information in the plugin header commentAffected if The plugin is present and the version header shows 1.3.19 or lower
-
Compare installed version to affected rangeRead the version number from the plugin header (typically in the main PHP file or readme.txt) and compare against the affected range of versions <= 1.3.19Affected if The installed version number is 1.3.19 or lower, or if no version can be determined but the plugin is present
-
Identify the vulnerable component locationLocate the all_bootstrap_blocks component within the plugin directory - this is the specific component where the LFI vulnerability exists according to the CVE descriptionAffected if The all_bootstrap_blocks component files are present in the plugin installation
-
Check for exposure of the vulnerable include/require logicExamine the all_bootstrap_blocks PHP files for code that uses include, require, include_once, or require_once with user-controlled or unsanitized parameters that could allow directory traversal (e.g., passing ../ in file paths)Affected if Such vulnerable include/require patterns are found in the code without proper sanitization of file path parameters
A user is affected if the All Bootstrap Blocks plugin is installed with version 1.3.19 or lower and the all_bootstrap_blocks component is accessible and contains the vulnerable file inclusion logic.

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 dataUpdate All Bootstrap Blocks to the latest version immediately. If updates are unavailable, disable the plugin and deploy a WAF rule to block requests with directory traversal patterns (e.g., ../) in parameters.
