CVE-2025-69057
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 Edge-Themes Eldon eldon allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects Eldon: from n/a through <= 1.0.
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 confidenceA Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability in the Edge-Themes Eldon PHP theme allows attackers to include arbitrary local PHP files due to improper control of filenames in include/require statements. This stems from unsanitized user input being used directly in file inclusion functions.

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.
-
Identify the installed Eldon theme versionLocate the theme's version file (commonly version.php, style.css header, or theme.json in the theme directory) and read the declared version numberAffected if The version is 1.0 or any version up to and including 1.0 (no fixed version is listed, meaning all versions through 1.0 are affected)
-
Locate the Eldon theme files on the serverSearch the web server document root for the 'eldon' or 'Eldon' theme folder, typically under wp-content/themes/ for WordPress or similar themes directory for other PHP applicationsAffected if The theme directory exists and contains PHP files with include/require statements that process user input
-
Inspect PHP files for unsafe include/require usageSearch within theme PHP files for include, require, include_once, or require_once statements that use $_GET, $_POST, $_REQUEST, or other user-supplied input without sanitization (e.g., include($_GET['page']) or require($file))Affected if Any include/require statement uses unsanitized user input directly as the file path parameter
-
Verify if the theme is actively loaded in a web applicationCheck if the theme is enabled or referenced in the application's configuration, database, or active theme settingAffected if The theme is actively loaded and accessible via HTTP requests, allowing attacker-controlled input to reach the vulnerable include/require logic
You are affected if the Eldon theme version is 1.0 or lower AND the theme contains PHP files with include/require statements that use unsanitized user input, and the theme is actively accessible in a web context.

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 input validation and whitelist-based filtering on any parameters used in include/require statements to prevent path traversal and unauthorized file inclusion. Use basename() and realpath() to validate and resolve file paths before inclusion.
