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

A PHP Local File Inclusion vulnerability exists in the zamartz Checkout Field Visibility for WooCommerce plugin (versions <= 1.3.0). The plugin improperly controls filenames used in include/require statements, allowing attackers to manipulate input parameters to include arbitrary local PHP files, potentially leading to remote code execution.

MitigationUpgrade to the latest version of Checkout Field Visibility for WooCommerce. If no patch is available, disable the plugin until a secure version is released. Additionally, ensure the web server runs with minimal file system permissions and disable allow_url_include.

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. Confirm plugin installation
    Locate the zamartz Checkout Field Visibility for WooCommerce plugin in the WordPress plugins directory (wp-content/plugins/) or via the WordPress admin plugins list
    Affected if The plugin folder 'checkout-field-visibility-for-woocommerce' or similar zamartz plugin directory exists on the server
  2. Identify installed version
    Check the plugin's main PHP file header for the Version comment, or query the WordPress database wp_options table for the option_name containing the plugin version
    Affected if The reported version is 1.3.0 or lower, or if no version is documented (indicating an unpatched older release)
  3. Verify plugin is active
    Check the WordPress active_plugins option in wp_options or view the Plugins admin page to confirm the plugin is enabled
    Affected if The plugin appears in the list of active plugins and is currently enabled on the site
  4. Inspect for LFI-vulnerable code patterns
    Examine the plugin's PHP source files for include(), require(), include_once(), or require_once() statements that use variables or request parameters (e.g., $_GET, $_POST) without proper sanitization or validation
    Affected if The plugin code contains dynamic file inclusion using unsanitized input parameters that could be manipulated to load arbitrary local PHP files

Your environment is affected if the zamartz Checkout Field Visibility for WooCommerce plugin is installed, active, and running at version 1.3.0 or lower, with vulnerable dynamic file inclusion code present.
