CVE-2025-31030
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 · uneditedImproper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP Remote File Inclusion') vulnerability in Jiro Sasamoto Ray Enterprise Translation lingotek-translation allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects Ray Enterprise Translation: from n/a through <= 1.7.0.
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 confidenceThis is a Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability in the Ray Enterprise Translation component (lingotek-translation) where improper control of filenames in PHP include/require statements allows attackers to include arbitrary local PHP files. The vulnerability stems from user-supplied input being used directly in file inclusion operations without proper validation.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify if lingotek-translation component is installedSearch the codebase or module directory for files related to 'lingotek-translation' or 'Ray Enterprise Translation'. Check composer.json, module lists, or application dependency manifests for this component.Affected if The lingotek-translation component is found in the environment
-
Locate PHP files handling file inclusion in the translation moduleSearch the lingotek-translation directory for PHP files containing include, require, include_once, or require_once statements. Review the codebase structure to identify translation-related PHP files.Affected if PHP files with inclusion functions exist in the translation component
-
Inspect file inclusion logic for unsanitized user inputOpen the identified PHP inclusion files and trace how parameters are handled. Look for $_GET, $_POST, or other user-supplied data being passed directly to include/require statements without validation.Affected if User-controlled parameters are used directly in include/require without validation
-
Check for path traversal sequences in file inclusion parametersTest or review the file inclusion parameters for the presence of '../' sequences or absolute path inputs. Examine the code for lack of path traversal sanitization (e.g., no basename(), no allowlist validation).Affected if The code allows path traversal sequences or absolute paths in inclusion parameters without sanitization
-
Verify the affected feature is accessibleDetermine if the vulnerable file inclusion code can be reached through web requests, CLI, or API endpoints. Check if authentication or other access controls exist on the affected functionality.Affected if The vulnerable file inclusion code is accessible without proper access restrictions
The environment is affected if the lingotek-translation component is installed and contains PHP file inclusion code that uses unsanitized user input directly in include/require statements, allowing path traversal.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImplement strict input validation using an allowlist approach for file inclusion parameters, sanitize or reject path traversal sequences (..), and ensure include/require statements never accept unsanitized user input directly.
