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 Földesi, Mihály Széchenyi 2020 Logo szechenyi-2020-logo allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects Széchenyi 2020 Logo: from n/a through <= 1.1.

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 Széchenyi 2020 Logo component where user-supplied input is improperly used in include/require statements without sufficient validation. An attacker could potentially manipulate file path parameters to read sensitive local files from the server filesystem.

MitigationImplement strict input validation using allowlists or sanitize file path inputs with basename() and realpath() to prevent path traversal; ensure all include/require statements use whitelisted values only.

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 presence of Széchenyi 2020 Logo component
    Search your application codebase for files, directories, or modules containing 'Széchenyi 2020 Logo' or related Hungarian language identifiers indicating this component
    Affected if The Széchenyi 2020 Logo component is present in your environment
  2. Locate PHP files with file inclusion functions
    Within the component directory, search for PHP files that contain include, require, include_once, or require_once statements
    Affected if The component contains PHP files using file inclusion functions
  3. Check if user input flows to include/require statements
    Review PHP files to identify if $_GET, $_POST, $_REQUEST, or other user-supplied parameters are used directly within include or require statements without validation
    Affected if User-controlled input is passed directly to include/require statements
  4. Verify absence of input sanitization
    Examine whether file path parameters are validated using functions like basename(), realpath(), or against an allowlist before being used in inclusion operations
    Affected if No input sanitization or path validation is performed on file path parameters before inclusion

Your environment is affected if the Széchenyi 2020 Logo component is installed and contains PHP files that use unsanitized user input in include/require statements for file paths
