CVE-2025-69060
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 AncoraThemes uReach ureach allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects uReach: from n/a through <= 1.3.3.
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 · moderate confidenceA file inclusion vulnerability in AncoraThemes uReach (versions <= 1.3.3) allows local file inclusion due to improper control of filename parameters in PHP include/require statements. Attackers can manipulate file path parameters to include arbitrary PHP files from the server, potentially executing malicious code.

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 if AncoraThemes uReach is installedSearch the web server file system for uReach theme files, typically found in wp-content/themes/ureach or similar paths. Look for theme declaration files like style.css or functions.php that reference uReach.Affected if uReach theme files are present on the server
-
Check the installed uReach versionOpen the main theme file (usually style.css in the uReach theme directory) and locate the version comment or header. Compare this version number against the affected range (versions <= 1.3.3).Affected if The installed version is 1.3.3 or lower
-
Examine PHP include/require usage for file path parametersSearch PHP files in the uReach theme directory for include, include_once, require, or require_once statements. Identify any that use variables or parameters derived from user input (GET, POST, or REQUEST) in the file path.Affected if User-supplied parameters are used directly in include/require statements without sanitization
-
Review file path handling in the applicationInspect PHP files that handle file operations or view rendering. Look for parameters named similarly to 'file', 'path', 'template', 'page', or 'include' that are passed to include/require functions.Affected if File path parameters can be manipulated to traverse directories (e.g., ../../) and reference arbitrary PHP files
A system is affected if uReach version 1.3.3 or lower is installed AND the application uses user-controlled parameters in PHP include/require statements without proper 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 dataUpdate uReach to the latest available version that patches this vulnerability, or implement strict input validation and sanitization on all file path parameters used in include/require statements to prevent directory traversal.
