CVE-2025-68841
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 Themepul TopperPack – Complete Elementor Addons, Theme & CPT Builder topper-pack allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects TopperPack – Complete Elementor Addons, Theme & CPT Builder: from n/a through <= 1.2.1.
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 · high confidenceThis is a PHP Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability in the Themepul TopperPack WordPress plugin. The vulnerability allows attackers to control filenames in PHP include/require statements, potentially enabling unauthorized access to sensitive files on the server or remote code execution through manipulation of include paths.

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 TopperPack plugin is installedNavigate to WordPress admin > Plugins and check if Themepul TopperPack appears in the installed plugins listAffected if The plugin is installed and active in WordPress
-
Identify installed TopperPack versionIn WordPress admin > Plugins > Installed Plugins, find TopperPack and note the version number displayed under the plugin nameAffected if Version matches the affected range (compare to any published affected versions if known, or treat all versions as potentially affected if no safe version is confirmed)
-
Locate vulnerable include/require codeCheck plugin PHP files (typically in wp-content/plugins/topperpack/) for include, require, include_once, or require_once statements that accept user-supplied parameters without sanitization. Search for patterns like include($_GET['file']) or similar dynamic includes.Affected if Code uses user input (GET/POST parameters) directly in include statements without validation or sanitization
-
Verify the vulnerable endpoint is accessibleTest if the plugin exposes any front-end or admin AJAX endpoints that accept file parameters. Use browser dev tools or curl to examine HTTP requests the plugin makes that could trigger the LFI.Affected if The endpoint accepting file parameters is accessible without authentication or with low-privilege user access
-
Check for path traversal patterns in requestsReview server access logs for requests to the site that contain traversal patterns (e.g., ../../) in parameters that may be processed by the pluginAffected if Exploitation attempts or suspicious patterns appear in logs related to TopperPack functionality
You are affected if the TopperPack plugin is installed, the vulnerable include/require code exists, and user input can be controlled in file inclusion paths without sanitization.

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 dataUpdate TopperPack to the latest version once a patch is released. If no patch is available, consider disabling the plugin, implementing WAF rules to block path traversal attacks, or applying input validation whitelisting on include statements.
