CVE-2025-68544
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 Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP Remote File Inclusion') vulnerability in thembay Diza diza allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects Diza: from n/a through <= 1.3.15.
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 confidenceLocal File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability in thembay Diza PHP application allows attackers to manipulate file inclusion parameters (include/require statements) to access sensitive local files or potentially execute arbitrary PHP code. The vulnerability exists in versions up to and including 1.3.15 due to improper input validation on file path 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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm Diza PHP application is installedSearch for Diza application files in the web root directory. Look for directories named 'diza' or files containing 'thembay' or 'Diza' in headers/comments. Common locations include /var/www/html/, /home/*/public_html/, or similar web directories.Affected if The Diza PHP application by thembay is found on the server
-
Identify installed Diza versionCheck for a version file in the application root, such as version.php, or look in composer.json, package.json, or a config.xml file. Also check footer files or admin panel 'About' pages for version information.Affected if The installed version is 1.3.15 or lower
-
Verify PHP configuration for remote inclusionCheck php.ini or phpinfo() output for the 'allow_url_include' directive. This setting controls whether PHP allows including files from remote URLs.Affected if allow_url_include is enabled (set to On)
-
Locate file inclusion code patternsSearch PHP source files for dynamic include/require statements using variables, such as: include($_GET['...']), require($_POST['...']), include_once($param), or similar patterns where user input reaches file inclusion functions.Affected if User-controlled parameters are used in include, require, include_once, or require_once statements without proper validation
The environment is affected if the thembay Diza PHP application version 1.3.15 or lower is installed and the application contains file inclusion logic that processes user input without validation.

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 dataImplement strict whitelist-based validation on all file inclusion parameters, ensuring only predefined safe paths are allowed, and disable allow_url_include in PHP configuration to prevent remote file inclusion vectors.
