CVE-2025-69034
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 Mikado-Themes Lekker lekker allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects Lekker: from n/a through <= 1.8.
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 Mikado-Themes Lekker (version <=1.8) where improper control of filenames in PHP include/require statements allows attackers to include and execute arbitrary PHP files from the local filesystem.

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 Lekker theme installation and versionLocate the Lekker theme directory (typically wp-content/themes/lekker/) and check the style.css header for the Version declaration, or check functions.php for a version constantAffected if The theme is installed and the version number is 1.8 or lower
-
Identify include/require statements using variablesSearch PHP files in the Lekker theme directory for patterns like 'include($', 'require($', 'include_once($', or 'require_once($' where variables are used directly in include/require statementsAffected if Any PHP file contains include/require statements that use unsanitized variable inputs
-
Check for user-controlled file path parametersReview the identified include/require files to determine if the variables passed to them come from request parameters (GET, POST, COOKIE) without sanitizationAffected if File path variables are derived from user input without validation or path restriction
-
Verify the vulnerable code is accessibleConfirm the vulnerable PHP files are accessible via web requests by testing the suspected parameter injection points (for example, by attempting a benign inclusion of a known local file)Affected if The LFI-prone code can be triggered through HTTP requests to the site
You are affected if Lekker theme version is 1.8 or lower AND your site has PHP include/require code that uses user-supplied input in an unsafe manner, allowing arbitrary file inclusion from the local filesystem.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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 Lekker theme version that implements proper input validation and sanitization on file path parameters used in include/require statements, restricting inclusion to expected/whitelisted paths.
