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 · unedited
Unauthenticated Local File Inclusion in Raider Spirit <= 1.1.2 versions.

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 confidence

Unauthenticated Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability in Raider Spirit plugin/theme versions 1.1.2 and below allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files on the server via directory traversal sequences in unsanitized input parameters.

MitigationUpgrade to a version higher than 1.1.2, or implement strict input validation and path sanitization to block directory traversal sequences (e.g., ../, ..\) in all user-supplied file path parameters.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Verify Raider Spirit installation exists
    Check for the Raider Spirit plugin/theme files in your WordPress plugins directory (wp-content/plugins/) or themes directory (wp-content/themes/). Look for a folder named 'raider-spirit' or similar.
    Affected if The plugin/theme folder is present on the server
  2. Confirm installed version number
    Locate the main plugin/theme file (e.g., index.php, style.css, or readme.txt) and check the version header declared in the file metadata. Compare this version to 1.1.2 or lower.
    Affected if The declared version is 1.1.2 or any version below 1.1.2
  3. Identify file path input parameters
    Review the plugin/theme source code for PHP files that accept user-supplied file paths via GET/POST parameters (common parameter names include 'file', 'path', 'template', 'page', 'include', or 'load').
    Affected if The code accepts file path parameters without apparent sanitization
  4. Check for directory traversal protection
    Inspect the code handling file path parameters to verify if it filters or blocks directory traversal sequences ('../', '..\', or encoded equivalents). Look for use of basename(), realpath(), or explicit allow-list validation.
    Affected if No traversal protection is found in the parameter handling code, allowing '../' sequences to pass through unsanitized
  5. Verify unauthenticated access is possible
    Confirm the vulnerable file inclusion code is reachable without authentication - check that the code does not require login, capability checks, or nonce verification before processing the file path parameter.
    Affected if The file path parameter can be accessed by unauthenticated users (no login_required, current_user check, or nonce validation present)

You are affected if Raider Spirit version 1.1.2 or below is installed AND the plugin/theme accepts unsanitized file path parameters that can be accessed by unauthenticated users, allowing directory traversal to read arbitrary files.
