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 Anubis theme is installedLocate the theme directory in the WordPress installation at /wp-content/themes/anubis/Affected if The anubis directory exists in the themes folder
-
Identify installed Anubis versionOpen the style.css file in /wp-content/themes/anubis/ and look for the 'Version:' header in the file commentsAffected if The version listed is 1.25 or lower
-
Locate PHP files with include/require statementsSearch the /wp-content/themes/anubis/ directory for PHP files containing 'include' or 'require' statements, especially those using variables like $_GET, $_POST, $_REQUEST, or $_COOKIE in the pathAffected if PHP files contain include/require statements that incorporate user-supplied input without validation
-
Examine vulnerable file inclusion patternsInspect identified PHP files for patterns like 'include($_GET["..."])' or 'require($_REQUEST["..."])' where the user input directly controls the file pathAffected if User-controlled parameters are used directly in include/require statements without sanitization
Your environment is affected if the Anubis theme version is 1.25 or lower AND PHP files in the theme use include/require statements with unsanitized user input.

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 dataSanitize and validate all input used in PHP include/require statements, implement allowlist validation for permitted files, and ensure user-supplied data cannot be used to manipulate file paths.
