CVE-2025-54709
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 uxper Sala. This issue affects Sala: from n/a through 1.1.6.
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 Remote File Inclusion (RFI) vulnerability in uxper Sala (versions through 1.1.6) allows attackers to inject arbitrary file paths into PHP include/require statements due to improper control of filename parameters. This can lead to remote code execution if attacker-controlled files are loaded.

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.
-
Verify uxper Sala installationLocate the uxper Sala application files on the server; common paths may include web root directories or application-specific folders named 'uxper' or 'sala'. Look for index.php or configuration files that indicate this application.Affected if The uxper Sala application is present on the server.
-
Determine installed versionOpen the application's main index.php, composer.json, or any version configuration file to read the reported version number. Compare this against the affected range of 1.1.6 and below.Affected if The installed version is 1.1.6 or any earlier version.
-
Identify vulnerable include/require patternsSearch the application source code for PHP include, require, include_once, or require_once statements. Examine these statements to determine if they accept dynamic input, particularly from GET, POST, or REQUEST superglobals, without proper sanitization.Affected if User-supplied input (from query parameters or form data) flows directly into include/require statements without validation.
-
Audit input handling logicTrace the data flow from user input to the include/require statements found in the previous step. Check if the application implements any filtering, whitelisting, or path validation on the filename parameter before it is used.Affected if No strict input validation or whitelist-based filtering is applied to the filename parameter before inclusion.
-
Review PHP configurationCheck the php.ini file or use phpinfo() to inspect the values of allow_url_fopen and allow_url_include settings. These control whether PHP can include files from remote URLs.Affected if allow_url_fopen or allow_url_include is enabled, allowing remote file inclusion.
A user is affected if uxper Sala version 1.1.6 or lower is installed AND the application passes unsanitized user input into PHP include/require statements, enabling an attacker to control which files get loaded and potentially execute arbitrary code.

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 and whitelist-based filtering on all include/require statements; disable allow_url_fopen and allow_url_include in PHP configuration; update to a patched version when available.
