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 zankover Fami Sales Popup fami-sales-popup allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects Fami Sales Popup: from n/a through <= 2.0.0.

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 Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability in the Fami Sales Popup WordPress plugin (versions <= 2.0.0) allows attackers to include arbitrary PHP files from the local server via improper input validation on include/require statements. The CVSS 7.5 indicates network-exploitable, low-complexity attacks with high confidentiality impact.

MitigationUpgrade to a patched version of Fami Sales Popup if available. Otherwise, implement strict input validation using allowlists, apply basename() and realpath() normalization to prevent directory traversal, and disable allow_url_include in PHP configuration.

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 Fami Sales Popup plugin is installed
    Check the WordPress plugins directory (wp-content/plugins/) for the 'fami-sales-popup' folder, or list installed plugins via wp-cli: wp plugin list --search='fami-sales-popup'
    Affected if The plugin folder exists in the WordPress installation
  2. Identify the installed plugin version
    Open the main plugin file (typically fami-sales-popup.php) and look for the 'Version' header in the plugin comments, or run: wp plugin get fami-sales-popup --field=version
    Affected if The reported version is 2.0.0 or lower (e.g., 2.0.0, 1.9.x, 1.0.0)
  3. Locate the vulnerable include/require code
    Search the plugin source files for dynamic include/require statements that use user-supplied input without sanitization, typically patterns like 'include($_GET[...])' or 'require($param)'
    Affected if Dynamic include/require statements accepting unsanitized input are found in the plugin code
  4. Test if the vulnerable parameter accepts path traversal
    Send a crafted HTTP request to the plugin's endpoint using path traversal sequences (e.g., ../../../../etc/passwd) in the suspected parameter and observe if the file contents are returned
    Affected if The server returns contents of files outside the intended directory, confirming LFI is exploitable

You are affected if the Fami Sales Popup plugin (version 2.0.0 or lower) is installed and its code contains dynamically-included files using unsanitized user input that can be exploited via path traversal.
