CVE-2025-32692
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 WP Shuffle WP Subscription Forms wp-subscription-forms allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects WP Subscription Forms: from n/a through <= 1.2.4.
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 confidenceA PHP Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability in the WP Subscription Forms WordPress plugin (versions up to 1.2.4) allows remote attackers to control the filename used in include/require statements, potentially enabling remote code execution through techniques like log poisoning or session 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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm plugin installation and versionIn WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and locate 'WP Subscription Forms'. Note the version number displayed, or check the plugin's main PHP file header for the 'Version' comment.Affected if The plugin is installed and the version is 1.2.4 or lower.
-
Identify vulnerable file inclusion codeExamine the plugin's PHP files for include, include_once, require, or require_once statements where a parameter value could be influenced by user input (e.g., $_GET, $_POST, or $_REQUEST). Search for patterns like 'include($_GET['...']' or 'require($var)' within plugin directory.Affected if The plugin contains file inclusion functions using unsanitized user-supplied input as the file path.
-
Locate the exposed entry pointTest HTTP requests to common WordPress plugin endpoints (e.g., wp-admin/admin-ajax.php, or direct PHP files in the plugin folder) while passing suspicious parameters like 'file', 'path', 'template', or 'load' to see if file contents are returned.Affected if The vulnerable file inclusion code is reachable via an HTTP request without authentication or with standard user-level access.
-
Verify directory traversal capabilitySubmit requests with '../' sequences in the vulnerable parameter (e.g., ?file=../../wp-config.php) to confirm the application does not restrict path traversal.Affected if The application allows directory traversal sequences and returns file contents outside the intended plugin directory.
If the WP Subscription Forms plugin version is 1.2.4 or lower and contains file inclusion code that uses unsanitized user input, the environment is vulnerable to CVE-2025-32692.

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 dataUpdate to a patched version of the plugin if available; otherwise disable the plugin. If the plugin must remain in use, implement WAF rules blocking directory traversal patterns (../, null byte) and restrict file inclusion to whitelisted paths.
