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 goalthemes Sofass sofass allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects Sofass: from n/a through <= 1.3.4.

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 confidence

Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability in goalthemes Sofass <= 1.3.4 allows attackers to manipulate file inclusion parameters to read sensitive local files or potentially achieve remote code execution via improper control of filenames in PHP include/require statements.

MitigationImplement strict input validation using allowlists for file inclusion parameters, disable URL include wrappers, and consider upgrading to a patched version when available.

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. Locate Sofass theme installation
    Search the web root directory for the Sofass theme folder or files. Look for directories named 'sofass', 'Sofass', or theme configuration files that indicate this WordPress/theme product is installed.
    Affected if The Sofass theme directory exists in the web application
  2. Determine installed Sofass version
    Check for version information in the Sofass theme files. Common locations include style.css header comments, theme.json, version.php, or the main index.php file within the Sofass theme directory. Look for a version number or release date.
    Affected if The installed version is 1.3.4 or any version lower than 1.3.4
  3. Identify PHP file inclusion code
    Search within the Sofass PHP files for dynamic file inclusion patterns. Look for statements like include($variable), require($_GET['parameter']), include_once($_REQUEST['file']), or similar patterns where user input flows directly into include/require statements without validation.
    Affected if The theme contains PHP file inclusion code that uses unsanitized variables in the file path parameter
  4. Check input validation on file parameters
    If dynamic file inclusion is found, examine the code around the inclusion statement to determine whether the parameter is validated against an allowlist, sanitized, or restricted before being used in the include/require function.
    Affected if No input validation, sanitization, or allowlist checking is performed on the file path parameter before inclusion
  5. Verify file inclusion is reachable
    Determine if the vulnerable file inclusion code can be reached via HTTP requests. Check if the PHP file containing the inclusion logic is accessible through a web URL and accepts parameters via GET, POST, or REQUEST.
    Affected if The vulnerable file inclusion code is accessible via web request and accepts user-supplied filename parameters

The environment is affected if Sofass version 1.3.4 or earlier is installed AND the theme contains dynamic PHP file inclusion logic that processes user-supplied filename parameters without proper validation, allowing potential local file disclosure.
