CVE-2025-62959
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 Generation of Code ('Code Injection') vulnerability in videowhisper Paid Videochat Turnkey Site ppv-live-webcams allows Remote Code Inclusion.This issue affects Paid Videochat Turnkey Site: from n/a through <= 7.3.23.
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 confidenceCode Injection (Remote Code Inclusion) vulnerability in the ppv-live-webcams component of videowhisper Paid Videochat Turnkey Site allows attackers to include and execute arbitrary remote code by manipulating file inclusion mechanisms, likely through unsanitized input parameters controlling which files the application loads.

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 if videowhisper Paid Videochat is installedSearch your web server for files or directories containing 'videowhisper' or 'ppv-live-webcams' in the path. Check your CMS or web application files for the ppv-live-webcams component.Affected if The ppv-live-webcams component is present in your environment.
-
Determine the installed version of ppv-live-webcamsLook for version information in the component files, such as version.php, readme.txt, or a manifest file within the ppv-live-webcams directory. Check the file headers or any included version constants.Affected if The version cannot be determined or is 7.3.23 or lower.
-
Verify if the ppv-live-webcams component is enabledCheck your application configuration or CMS plugin settings to confirm whether the ppv-live-webcams component is actively loaded and accessible on the site.Affected if The ppv-live-webcams component is enabled and loaded.
-
Inspect file inclusion parameters in useSearch your web server access logs for requests to pages using the ppv-live-webcams component that contain parameters potentially used for file inclusion (e.g., file=, path=, page=, template=, include=, require=). Review your application source code for unsanitized include/require statements.Affected if File inclusion parameters are processed without strict input validation.
-
Check for signs of exploitationReview web server logs for suspicious patterns such as remote URL inclusion attempts, path traversal sequences (../), or unexpected code execution within the ppv-live-webcams directories. Look for newly created or modified PHP files that you did not create.Affected if Log evidence or artifacts suggest remote code execution via file inclusion.
You are affected if the ppv-live-webcams component is installed, enabled, and running version 7.3.23 or lower without evidence that file inclusion parameters are strictly validated.

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 dataUpgrade to a patched version beyond 7.3.23; if unavailable, disable the ppv-live-webcams component and/or implement strict allowlist-based input validation on any file inclusion parameters to prevent path traversal and remote file inclusion.
