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 ThemeMove EduMall edumall allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects EduMall: from n/a through <= 4.4.7.

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

A Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability exists in the ThemeMove EduMall theme (versions up to 4.4.7) where improper control of filenames in PHP include/require statements allows attackers to include arbitrary files from the server file system. This can lead to exposure of sensitive configuration files, source code, or potentially remote code execution depending on file contents.

MitigationUpgrade to a patched version of EduMall if available, otherwise implement strict allowlist-based input validation on file inclusion parameters and disable allow_url_include in PHP 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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify the installed EduMall theme version
    Locate the theme's style.css file in the wp-content/themes/edumall directory and look for the 'Version:' comment in the file header, or check theme.json if present
    Affected if The version number found is less than 4.4.7 (for example, 4.4.6, 4.4.5, 4.0, etc.)
  2. Review PHP files using dynamic file inclusion
    Search the theme's PHP files (particularly in includes/, template-parts/, or similar directories) for patterns like 'include(', 'require(', 'include_once(', 'require_once(' where the path contains variables, request parameters, or function arguments that could be user-controlled
    Affected if Dynamic file inclusion statements are found that accept external input without validation
  3. Identify file inclusion endpoints
    Search for PHP files that handle include/require statements with $_GET, $_POST, or other user-supplied parameters used as file paths (for example, parameters named 'file', 'path', 'template', 'page', 'slug')
    Affected if Parameters accepting file paths from users are used in include/require statements without sanitization
  4. Check for evidence of exploitation attempts
    Review web server access logs (Apache, Nginx) for suspicious patterns such as requests containing '../' sequences, '/etc/passwd', 'wp-config.php', or other sensitive file paths in parameters that may be used by the theme's file inclusion logic
    Affected if Log entries show LFI exploitation patterns targeting the affected parameters

You are affected if the EduMall theme version is below 4.4.7 AND your site processes PHP file inclusion statements with user-controlled input without proper validation.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 4.4.7 or later
Fixed in 4.4.7
Interim mitigation

Upgrade to a patched version of EduMall if available, otherwise implement strict allowlist-based input validation on file inclusion parameters and disable allow_url_include in PHP configuration.

Recommended fix High confidence

EduMall version 4.4.7 or latest stable release

  1. 1. Back up your current EduMall theme installation and database
  2. 2. Navigate to your WordPress theme management area or ThemeMove's official distribution channel
  3. 3. Download EduMall version 4.4.7 or the latest stable release (4.4.7+)
  4. 4. Install the updated theme via WordPress admin panel (Appearance > Themes > Add New > Upload) or via file transfer
  5. 5. Verify the theme version is 4.4.7 or higher in the theme settings
  6. 6. Test critical site functionality to ensure the update did not break existing features
  7. 7. Clear any caching systems (site cache, CDN cache) after the update
Caveat Review theme documentation for any template or functionality changes between your current version and 4.4.7; child theme customizations may require updates
