CVE-2025-60071
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 don-themes Riode riode allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects Riode: from n/a through <= 1.6.23.
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 PHP Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability exists in the Riode WooCommerce theme where user-controlled input is used in include/require statements without proper validation. An attacker can exploit this to read sensitive files from the server filesystem or potentially achieve remote code execution depending on server configuration.

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 Riode theme installationLocate the theme directory in your WordPress installation (typically wp-content/themes/riode) and confirm the theme files are presentAffected if The Riode theme directory exists in the WordPress themes folder
-
Determine Riode theme versionOpen the theme's style.css file (wp-content/themes/riode/style.css) and locate the Version: header in the file commentsAffected if The version cannot be determined or is lower than the fixed version (check vendor for patched release)
-
Locate file inclusion codeSearch the theme's PHP files for dynamic include/require patterns using grep: grep -rn '\$_\(GET|POST|REQUEST\)' --include='*.php' wp-content/themes/riode/ | grep -i 'include\|require'Affected if User-supplied input (\$_GET, \$_POST, \$_REQUEST) is used directly in include(), require(), include_once(), or require_once() statements without sanitization
-
Identify vulnerable parametersExamine each found file inclusion to determine which parameter names are used (e.g., 'file', 'page', 'template', 'lang')Affected if The file inclusion accepts unsanitized parameter values that could be manipulated to traverse directories or include arbitrary files
-
Check parameter accessibilityAttempt to access the identified parameters via HTTP GET requests to determine if they are reachable without authenticationAffected if The vulnerable file inclusion parameters are accessible via URL without authentication and accept path traversal sequences (such as ../../)
You are affected if the Riode theme is installed and its code contains dynamic file inclusion using unsanitized user input that is accessible without authentication.

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 on all file inclusion parameters, use whitelist-based file matching, and ensure allow_url_include is disabled. Replace dynamic includes with a switch/case or array-based mapping approach.
