CVE-2025-48292
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 GoodLayers Tourmaster tourmaster allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects Tourmaster: from n/a through <= 5.3.8.
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 Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability in the GoodLayers Tourmaster WordPress theme allows attackers to read arbitrary server files by manipulating input parameters passed to PHP include/require statements. The vulnerability stems from improper validation of user-supplied input used in file path operations.

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 Tourmaster theme installationNavigate to wp-content/themes/ in your WordPress installation directory and check for a folder named 'tourmaster' or 'tour-master'. Alternatively, check via WordPress admin under Appearance > Themes.Affected if The Tourmaster theme folder exists in the themes directory.
-
Determine installed Tourmaster versionOpen the style.css file within the tourmaster theme folder and locate the 'Version:' comment in the file header. Compare this version number against the vendor's release notes for patched versions.Affected if The installed version is unpatched or the version number cannot be determined (indicating an older installation).
-
Identify vulnerable file inclusion codeSearch the tourmaster theme folder for PHP files containing 'include' or 'require' statements that use dynamic variables (e.g., include($_GET['page'], include($file), require_once($_REQUEST['file']). Look in files within subdirectories like 'framework/' or 'include/' that handle page templates or file requests.Affected if Dynamic include/require statements using unfiltered user input (GET, POST, REQUEST parameters) are found in the theme code.
-
Check for exposed file parameterTest common parameter names used in LFI attacks on your site's pages (e.g., ?page=, ?file=, ?template=, ?lang=). Use a web proxy or curl to request URLs like /?page=../../../../etc/passwd and observe if file contents are returned.Affected if The server returns the contents of arbitrary files when manipulated parameters are passed in the URL.
If the Tourmaster theme is installed with an unverified or older version and the theme exposes file inclusion parameters that return arbitrary file contents, the environment is affected by CVE-2025-48292.

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 dataImplement strict input validation using allowlists for file inclusion parameters, remove or properly sanitize user input from include/require statements, and upgrade to a patched version of Tourmaster when available.
