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 Premmerce Premmerce premmerce allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects Premmerce: from n/a through <= 1.3.19.

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

Premmerce WordPress plugin versions up to 1.3.19 contain a PHP Local File Inclusion vulnerability where user-controlled input is improperly used in include/require statements without adequate validation, allowing attackers to read sensitive local files on the server.

MitigationUpgrade to a patched version of Premmerce. If no patch available, implement strict input validation on all include/require paths and disable allow_url_include.

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 Premmerce plugin is installed
    Log in to WordPress admin, navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins, and look for 'Premmerce' in the list. Alternatively, check the /wp-content/plugins/ directory for a premmerce folder.
    Affected if The Premmerce plugin is present in the WordPress installation
  2. Check installed Premmerce version
    In WordPress admin under Plugins, find Premmerce and view the version number displayed beneath the plugin name. If using WP-CLI, run: wp plugin list --filter=name=premmerce --format=json
    Affected if The installed version is 1.3.19 or any version lower than 1.3.19
  3. Identify accessible entry points with user input
    Review the Premmerce plugin files for PHP include/require statements that use $_GET, $_POST, or similar superglobals without proper sanitization. Common patterns to search: include($_REQUEST[...]), require($_GET[...]), include_once($_POST[...]).
    Affected if The plugin contains include/require code that uses unsanitized user input from URL parameters or form submissions
  4. Verify the vulnerable code path is reachable
    Test whether the parameter used in the insecure include/require is accessible via HTTP request to the WordPress site. Attempt to access a known sensitive file (e.g., /wp-config.php) through the identified parameter.
    Affected if The vulnerable parameter is exposed and allows path traversal (e.g., ../../wp-config.php) without being blocked

The environment is affected if Premmerce plugin version 1.3.19 or lower is installed and contains code that uses user-supplied input in include/require statements without validation.
