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 Hinnerk Altenburg Immocaster WordPress Plugin immocaster allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects Immocaster WordPress Plugin: from n/a through <= 1.3.6.

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

The Immocaster WordPress plugin versions up to 1.3.6 contain a Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability due to improper control of filenames in PHP include/require statements. An attacker could potentially exploit this by manipulating file path parameters to read sensitive files from the local filesystem, leading to information disclosure or code execution in certain contexts.

MitigationUpdate the Immocaster plugin to the latest patched version once available. Until then, disable the plugin or implement a WAF rule to block directory traversal patterns in request parameters.

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 Immocaster plugin installation
    Check if the Immocaster plugin directory exists in your WordPress installation at /wp-content/plugins/immocaster/ or similar path
    Affected if The plugin directory exists on the server
  2. Determine installed plugin version
    Locate the version information in the plugin's main PHP file (usually at the top of the file in a comment block) or in the readme.txt file within the plugin directory
    Affected if The version cannot be determined or is older than the patched version
  3. Identify vulnerable file path parameters
    Search the plugin source code for include, require, include_once, or require_once statements that use variables without proper validation (e.g., include($_GET['file']) or similar patterns)
    Affected if Unvalidated file path parameters are found in the plugin code
  4. Test for directory traversal vulnerability
    If the vulnerable parameter is identified, attempt to access a known local file via directory traversal (e.g., ../../../../wp-config.php) in the affected parameter - only perform this on non-production systems with authorization
    Affected if The application allows reading files outside the intended directory through the affected parameter
  5. Check access to vulnerable endpoint
    Review server logs or web application firewall logs for requests containing directory traversal patterns (../) targeting the Immocaster plugin endpoints
    Affected if Exploitation attempts are observed in logs or the endpoint is directly accessible without authentication

Your environment is affected if the Immocaster plugin is installed, contains unvalidated file path parameters in include/require statements, and those parameters are accessible to unauthenticated users.
