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 axiomthemes Lunna lunna allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects Lunna: from n/a through <= 1.15.
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 confidenceThe Lunna WordPress theme by axiomthemes contains a Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability (CVSS 9.8 critical) in its PHP include/require statements. Attackers can exploit improper control of filenames to read sensitive server files via path traversal, potentially exposing configuration files, credentials, or achieving code execution.

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 Lunna theme versionIn WordPress admin, go to Appearance > Themes to view the installed theme version. Alternatively, check the style.css file in wp-content/themes/lunna/ for the 'Version:' header, or use WP-CLI: wp theme get lunna --field=versionAffected if Version is 1.15 or lower
-
Verify theme is activeConfirm whether the Lunna theme is currently activated on the WordPress site. Check via WordPress admin under Appearance > Themes or with WP-CLI: wp theme list --status=activeAffected if Lunna theme is the active theme
-
Locate file inclusion codeSearch the theme files for include/require statements using dynamic parameters (e.g., grep -r 'include.*\$_' or 'require.*\$_' in the wp-content/themes/lunna/ directory). Focus on PHP files in the include/ folder mentioned in the CVE descriptionAffected if Dynamic file inclusion using user-controlled input exists in the theme
-
Inspect vulnerable parametersReview the identified include/require statements for parameters that accept file paths without sanitization. Common patterns include ?file=, ?page=, ?template=, or ?path= in URL parametersAffected if File inclusion parameters accept unsanitized input and can traverse directories (e.g., ../../)
User is affected if Lunna theme version 1.15 or lower is installed and active, with the vulnerable file inclusion code present and accessible.

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 a patched version of the Lunna theme; if unavailable, disable the theme immediately and replace with a secured alternative, or deploy WAF rules to block path traversal patterns in requests.
