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 Rameez Iqbal Real Estate Manager real-estate-manager allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects Real Estate Manager: from n/a through <= 7.3.

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 · high confidence

Improper control of filename for include/require statements in the Real Estate Manager PHP application allows attackers to manipulate file inclusion parameters, potentially enabling remote code execution or sensitive file disclosure through PHP Local/Remote File Inclusion.

MitigationUpdate Real Estate Manager to a patched version. If no patch available, implement strict input validation with whitelist-based allowlisting for file inclusion paths and disable remote file inclusion 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. Locate Real Estate Manager installation
    Search the web root for files named 'realestate.php' or directories named 'real-estate-manager', 'realestate', or similar patterns. Common paths include /wp-content/plugins/real-estate-manager/ (WordPress) or /components/com_realestate/ (Joomla).
    Affected if The Real Estate Manager PHP application is present on the server.
  2. Identify the installed version
    Check for a version file such as 'version.php', 'config.php', or a changelog/readme file within the Real Estate Manager directory. Look for a variable like $version or $rem_version.
    Affected if The installed version cannot be determined or is earlier than the patched release.
  3. Check for vulnerable file inclusion parameters
    Search PHP source files in the Real Estate Manager directory for include, require, include_once, or require_once statements that use variables in the file path, e.g., 'include($file)', 'require($_GET["page"])', or similar dynamic file inclusion patterns.
    Affected if Dynamic file inclusion using unsanitized user input is found in include/require statements.
  4. Test for exposed file inclusion endpoints
    Identify PHP files that handle page/task/action parameters (commonly index.php, router.php, or controller files). Attempt to manipulate these parameters with paths like '../../../../etc/passwd' or a remote URL to see if file contents are returned.
    Affected if The application returns file contents or executes included remote/local files based on user-controlled parameters.
  5. Inspect PHP configuration for remote file inclusion
    Check the php.ini configuration file (or run 'php -i' | grep 'allow_url_include') to determine if allow_url_include is enabled.
    Affected if allow_url_include is enabled, allowing remote file inclusion attacks.

A user is affected if the Real Estate Manager PHP application is installed with dynamic file inclusion using unsanitized input and the vulnerable parameters are accessible without authentication.
