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 FULL SERVICES FULL Customer full-customer allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects FULL Customer: from n/a through <= 3.1.26.

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

PHP Local File Inclusion vulnerability in the full-customer component allows attackers to include arbitrary files from the server's filesystem by manipulating input parameters used in PHP include/require statements. The vulnerability exists in versions through 3.1.26 and could be exploited to read sensitive system files, potentially leading to code execution.

MitigationImplement strict input validation with whitelist approach for file inclusion paths, disable allow_url_include, use basename() and realpath() to normalize paths and prevent directory traversal sequences (..), and refactor vulnerable include/require statements to use static 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 full-customer component installation
    Search the web server filesystem for the full-customer component directories or files. Common locations include /var/www/html/, /app/, or the document root. Look for directories or files named 'full-customer', 'customer', or similar naming patterns.
    Affected if The full-customer component is present on the server
  2. Determine the installed version
    Locate version information files such as composer.json, version.php, CHANGELOG, or a dedicated version file within the full-customer component directory. Check the file contents for a version number.
    Affected if The installed version is 3.1.26 or any earlier version through unknown earlier versions
  3. Identify PHP include/require usage
    Search the full-customer component source code for dynamic include, require, include_once, or require_once statements that use variables or request parameters. Use grep or similar tools: grep -r 'include\|require' --include='*.php' .
    Affected if Dynamic file inclusion using variables or user-supplied input is present in the code
  4. Check for vulnerable parameter handling
    Examine the identified include/require statements for lack of sanitization. Look for code patterns where $_GET, $_POST, or $_REQUEST parameters are used directly in include/require without basename(), realpath(), or whitelist validation.
    Affected if User-controlled input flows directly into include/require statements without validation
  5. Inspect server configuration for exposure
    Review the web server configuration (Apache/nginx) to confirm the full-customer component is web-accessible. Check if PHP file execution is enabled in the component's directory.
    Affected if The component is web-accessible with PHP execution enabled

A system is affected if the full-customer component version is 3.1.26 or earlier AND the vulnerable dynamic file inclusion pattern with unsanitized user input exists in the codebase.
