NVD · unedited
Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP Remote File Inclusion') vulnerability in Jiro Sasamoto Ray Enterprise Translation lingotek-translation allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects Ray Enterprise Translation: from n/a through <= 1.7.1.

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

This is a PHP Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability in the Ray Enterprise Translation (lingotek-translation) component. The vulnerability stems from improper control of filenames in PHP include/require statements, allowing attackers to manipulate file path parameters to include arbitrary local files. This can lead to sensitive data exposure or potentially remote code execution if an attacker can upload or control included files.

MitigationImplement strict input validation and path sanitization for all file inclusion parameters, using allowlists of permitted files or paths rather than trusting user-supplied input. Ensure all include/require statements validate the requested file is within the expected directory.

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. Confirm lingotek-translation component installation
    Locate the lingotek-translation module in your codebase. Search for directories or files named 'lingotek-translation' or similar patterns within your CMS/Drupal installation.
    Affected if The lingotek-translation component is not present in your environment, then you are likely not affected.
  2. Identify PHP files handling file inclusion in the component
    Search for PHP files in the lingotek-translation module that contain include, require, include_once, or require_once statements.
    Affected if PHP files with file inclusion functions exist in the component and process user-supplied input as file paths.
  3. Locate parameters used in include/require statements
    Review the identified PHP files and trace how parameters (such as query string or POST parameters) are passed to include/require statements without sanitization.
    Affected if User-controlled parameters are directly used in include/require statements without validation or path sanitization.
  4. Check for path traversal protection
    Examine the code around file inclusion calls for security measures such as basename(), realpath(), or allowlist validation that restricts included files to expected directories.
    Affected if No path traversal protection or allowlist validation is found in the file inclusion logic, the vulnerability is present.
  5. Test for LFI via HTTP parameter manipulation
    If you have a test environment, attempt to include a known local file (e.g., /etc/passwd or a configuration file) by manipulating the suspected parameter in an HTTP request to the lingotek-translation endpoint.
    Affected if The application returns contents of arbitrary local files based on user-supplied path parameters, confirming the LFI vulnerability.

Your environment is affected if the lingotek-translation component is installed and user-controlled parameters are passed to PHP include/require statements without proper validation or path sanitization.
