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 · unedited
Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP Remote File Inclusion') vulnerability in Creatives_Planet Leblix leblix allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects Leblix: from n/a through <= 2.4.

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 · high confidence

This is a PHP Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability in the Leblix application (version <= 2.4). The vulnerability stems from improper control of filenames in PHP include/require statements, allowing attackers to manipulate file path parameters to include arbitrary files from the server filesystem, potentially leading to remote code execution.

MitigationImplement strict input validation on all file inclusion parameters, preferably using a whitelist approach or storing allowed file references as keys in an array rather than directly using user input in include/require statements.

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. Identify Leblix installation version
    Check the application's version file, composer.json, or admin panel for the installed version number. Common locations include a VERSION file in the root directory, version defined in composer.json, or displayed in the admin backend.
    Affected if The installed version is 2.4 or any version lower than 2.4.
  2. Locate PHP file inclusion statements
    Search the application source code for PHP include, require, include_once, or require_once statements. Use grep or similar tools to find patterns like 'include($_GET' or 'require($' across all PHP files in the application.
    Affected if The application uses include/require statements where the file path is derived from user-supplied input such as GET/POST parameters.
  3. Identify user-controlled parameters in inclusion calls
    Examine the file inclusion statements found in step 2. Trace the source of the path variable to determine if it comes directly or indirectly from user input ($_GET, $_POST, $_REQUEST, or URL parameters).
    Affected if The file path parameter in any include/require statement can be controlled or influenced by external user input without proper sanitization.
  4. Check for input validation on file inclusion parameters
    Review the code handling file inclusion parameters. Look for validation logic such as whitelist checks, array key lookups, or path sanitization before the include/require statement is executed.
    Affected if No strict input validation, allowlist, or safe mapping array is used to restrict which files can be included.
  5. Test for directory traversal capability
    If file inclusion with user input exists, attempt to verify if the application allows path traversal sequences like '../' in the parameter value to access files outside the intended directory.
    Affected if The application permits directory traversal characters in file inclusion parameters, allowing arbitrary file access from the server filesystem.

You are affected if Leblix version 2.4 or lower is installed AND the application contains PHP include/require statements using user-controlled input without strict validation or allowlisting.
