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.

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 confidence

Local File Inclusion vulnerability in axiomthemes Fabric theme allows attackers to control filenames used in PHP include/require statements, potentially enabling execution of arbitrary PHP code by including malicious local files.

MitigationImplement strict input validation and whitelist-based filtering on all file inclusion parameters; avoid user-supplied input in include/require statements entirely or use a whitelist of allowed files.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Locate the Fabric theme installation
    Search your web server directories for the 'fabric' theme folder, typically found in wp-content/themes/fabric for WordPress installations or similar theme directories for other platforms.
    Affected if The Fabric theme folder exists on the server and contains PHP files.
  2. Identify the installed version
    Open the theme's style.css file or main PHP configuration file and look for a 'Version:' header or $version variable declaration.
    Affected if The version is 1.5.0 or lower.
  3. Find PHP files with include/require statements
    Search the theme directory for PHP files containing 'include(', 'require(', 'include_once(', or 'require_once(' statements, particularly in files that handle user requests.
    Affected if PHP files contain dynamic file inclusion using variables or parameters without sanitization.
  4. Inspect file inclusion parameters for user input
    Examine the identified include/require statements and trace whether $_GET, $_POST, or $_REQUEST parameters are used directly in the file path without validation or whitelisting.
    Affected if User-supplied input from request parameters is used directly in include/require statements without filtering.
  5. Check for vulnerable file handlers
    Review PHP files that process query parameters (such as 'page', 'file', 'template', or 'path') and pass them to include/require functions.
    Affected if URL parameters control which files are included and no whitelist or sanitization is applied.

Your environment is affected if the Fabric theme version is 1.5.0 or lower AND PHP files in the theme use user-controlled input in include/require statements without validation.
