CVE-2025-69043
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 goalthemes Rashy rashy allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects Rashy: from n/a through <= 1.1.3.
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 confidenceThe Rashy theme <= 1.1.3 contains a PHP Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability where user-supplied input is improperly used in include/require statements without proper validation or sanitization. This allows attackers to include arbitrary local files, potentially leading to sensitive file disclosure or remote code execution.

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.
-
Locate Rashy theme installationSearch your web root for directories named 'rashy' or files containing 'Rashy' theme metadata (check style.css headers or theme.json)Affected if The Rashy theme is present in your web application files
-
Determine installed Rashy versionOpen the theme's style.css file (usually in wp-content/themes/rashy/) and locate the 'Version:' declaration in the file header commentAffected if The version listed is 1.1.3 or lower
-
Find PHP files with include/require using user inputSearch the theme directory for PHP files containing include(), require(), include_once(), or require_once() where the path variable originates from $_GET, $_POST, or $_REQUEST without sanitizationAffected if Any such vulnerable include/require patterns exist in the theme's PHP files
-
Identify the vulnerable parameterExamine the vulnerable include/require code found in step 3. Note which $_GET or $_POST parameter is being used in the include statement (for example, '?page=template.php' or similar)Affected if The parameter accepts path input without validation or traversal checks
-
Test if vulnerable parameter is accessibleAttempt a benign request to the identified parameter (for example, ?param=../../../../etc/passwd or ?param=../../../../wp-config.php) to confirm the application includes the specified file contentAffected if The application returns content from files outside the theme directory
You are affected if the Rashy theme version is 1.1.3 or lower and your installation contains PHP files with include/require statements that use unsanitized user input from URL or form parameters.

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 of the Rashy theme that implements proper input validation and sanitization for include/require statements, or apply web application firewall rules to block directory traversal patterns in vulnerable parameters.
