CVE-2025-54031
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 Schiocco Support Board supportboard allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects Support Board: from n/a through <= 3.8.0.
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 confidenceA PHP Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability exists in Schiocco Support Board versions through 3.8.0. The application improperly controls filenames used in include/require statements, allowing attackers to include arbitrary local PHP files by manipulating input parameters.

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.
-
Identify Support Board installationLook for the Support Board application on your web server. Check for directories or files containing 'support-board', 'schiocco', or similar naming conventions in your web root.Affected if The Support Board application is present on the server.
-
Determine Support Board versionLocate the version file or index file within the Support Board directory. Look for a version variable, changelog, or admin panel that displays the current version number.Affected if The installed version is 3.8.0 or any version lower than 3.8.0.
-
Inspect PHP include/require usageSearch the Support Board source code for dynamic include, require, include_once, or require_once statements that use user-supplied input without proper sanitization. Look for patterns like include($_GET['param']) or require($variable).Affected if The code contains include/require statements that incorporate request parameters directly without validation.
-
Check for vulnerable parameter handlingReview the PHP files in the Support Board application for parameters being passed to include/require functions. Identify which URL parameters or POST data influence these file inclusions.Affected if URL parameters or POST data can control which file gets included by the application.
-
Test for LFI accessibilityAttempt to access the Support Board pages with manipulated parameters pointing to local files such as ../../../../etc/passwd or ../../windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts to confirm if the application is vulnerable to LFI.Affected if The application returns contents of local files when path traversal sequences are used in include/require parameters.
You are affected if Schiocco Support Board version 3.8.0 or lower is installed and the application uses user-controlled input in include/require statements without validation.

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 dataUpgrade to the patched version of Support Board (if available). If no patch exists, implement strict input validation on all include/require parameters and consider disabling allow_url_include, while reviewing and refactoring vulnerable code paths.
