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
Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP Remote File Inclusion') vulnerability in magentech Rozy - Flower Shop rozy allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects Rozy - Flower Shop: from n/a through <= 1.2.25.

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 confidence

This is a PHP Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability in the magentech Rozy - Flower Shop e-commerce template (versions <= 1.2.25). The vulnerability stems from improper control of filename parameters used in PHP include/require statements, allowing attackers to manipulate file paths to read sensitive server files. With CVSS 8.1 (HIGH), this can expose configuration files, credentials, and potentially lead to remote code execution depending on server configuration.

MitigationImplement strict input validation using whitelist-based file inclusion, apply basename() and realpath() functions to sanitize path traversal attempts, and disable allow_url_include. Alternatively, refactor to use a switch/case or array-based include mechanism that does not rely on user-supplied input for 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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify the Rozy template version
    Locate the version definition file in the template directory (typically version.php, config.php, or similar in the template root). Open the file and read the version constant or variable.
    Affected if The version number returned is 1.2.25 or lower.
  2. Find PHP files using dynamic file includes
    Search the template's PHP files for include, require, include_once, or require_once statements that use variables or parameters in the file path (e.g., include($file), include($_GET['page']). Identify the specific file and line numbers.
    Affected if Dynamic file inclusion using user-supplied input is found in the codebase.
  3. Verify the vulnerable parameter is reachable
    Examine the identified include/require code path to determine if the variable originates from HTTP request parameters (GET, POST, COOKIE). Test by attempting to access the page with a modified parameter.
    Affected if User-controlled input reaches the file inclusion function without sanitization.
  4. Test for path traversal capability
    Attempt to access the vulnerable endpoint with a path traversal payload (e.g., ../../../../etc/passwd) in the parameter. Observe if the server returns file contents or an error revealing the file path.
    Affected if The application returns content from files outside the intended directory or displays the full path.

You are affected if the Rozy template version is 1.2.25 or lower AND your installation contains PHP code that dynamically includes files using unsanitized user input from HTTP parameters.
