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 snstheme Nitan snsnitan allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects Nitan: from n/a through <= 2.9.

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

A PHP Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability in snstheme Nitan snsnitan (versions up to 2.9) allows attackers to include and execute arbitrary PHP files by manipulating file path parameters used in include/require statements. This can lead to complete system compromise via arbitrary code execution.

MitigationImplement strict input validation with allowlists for file path parameters, disable PHP's allow_url_include, use basename() and realpath() to sanitize paths, and upgrade to a patched version if 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. Confirm snstheme Nitan snsnitan installation
    Locate the application on the server by searching for directories or files containing 'nitan', 'snsnitan', or 'snstheme' in the web root or application paths
    Affected if The snstheme Nitan snsnitan application is present on the server
  2. Determine installed version
    Locate and read version information files, config files, or any file containing a version string within the application directory. Compare the version number to the affected range (versions up to and including 2.9)
    Affected if The installed version is 2.9 or lower
  3. Identify user-controlled file path parameters
    Examine PHP source code for include, require, include_once, or require_once statements that use parameters from $_GET, $_POST, or $_REQUEST as all or part of the file path
    Affected if The application uses unsanitized request parameters in include/require statements
  4. Check for vulnerable parameter filtering
    Inspect the code around include/require calls to determine whether input validation (basename, realpath, allowlists) is applied to the file path parameter before use
    Affected if No input validation or sanitization is applied to the file path parameter before inclusion

The environment is affected if snstheme Nitan snsnitan version 2.9 or lower is installed and uses include/require statements with unsanitized user-supplied file path parameters.
