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 ApusTheme Ogami ogami allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects Ogami: from n/a through <= 1.53.

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 exists in the ApusTheme Ogami WordPress theme (versions <= 1.53). The vulnerability allows attackers to include and execute arbitrary PHP files from the local server via improper control of filename parameters in include/require statements, potentially leading to remote code execution.

MitigationUpdate the Ogami theme to the latest version if a patch is available. Otherwise, implement input validation and path sanitization on file inclusion parameters, or restrict file permissions to prevent unauthorized PHP file inclusion.

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 if Ogami theme is installed
    List contents of wp-content/themes/ directory and look for a folder named 'ogami', 'apus_ogami', or similar theme folder.
    Affected if The Ogami theme folder exists in the WordPress themes directory.
  2. Determine installed theme version
    Open the theme's style.css file (typically in wp-content/themes/ogami/style.css) and locate the 'Version:' header in the CSS comment block at the top.
    Affected if The version listed is 1.53 or lower.
  3. Check for file inclusion endpoints
    Search theme PHP files for include, require, include_once, or require_once statements that use variables in the path (e.g., include($file), require($_GET['param'])). Look in common entry points like functions.php, template files, and any AJAX handlers.
    Affected if The theme contains file inclusion code that uses unsanitized user-controlled input.
  4. Verify web server access to theme files
    Confirm the web server process has read access to theme PHP files and that the vulnerable code paths are accessible via HTTP requests (check if the parameter/endpoint is publicly reachable).
    Affected if The file inclusion parameter is accessible without authentication or can be exploited through another vulnerability.

If the Ogami theme version is 1.53 or lower AND the theme exposes a file inclusion mechanism using unsanitized input, the environment is affected by this LFI vulnerability.

Mitigation

Update the Ogami theme to the latest version if a patch is available. Otherwise, implement input validation and path sanitization on file inclusion parameters, or restrict file permissions to prevent unauthorized PHP file inclusion.
