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
Subscriber Local File Inclusion in Tourmaster <= 5.4.5 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

A Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability in Tourmaster plugin/theme versions 5.4.5 and below allows authenticated Subscriber-level users to read arbitrary files on the server by manipulating file path parameters. This low-privilege user capability combined with the ability to read sensitive system files elevates the severity.

MitigationUpgrade Tourmaster to a version newer than 5.4.5. If immediate patching is not feasible, implement strict input validation and path sanitization on file inclusion functions, and consider temporarily restricting Subscriber-level account capabilities until the patch is applied.

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. Identify Tourmaster installation and version
    Locate the Tourmaster plugin/theme files and check the main version file or header for the installed version number
    Affected if The installed version is 5.4.5 or lower
  2. Verify WordPress user roles exist
    Check the WordPress user management panel or database for users with Subscriber-level role
    Affected if At least one Subscriber-level user account exists in the system
  3. Confirm file inclusion functionality is present
    Inspect the Tourmaster code for file inclusion functions (include, require, readfile, file_get_contents) that accept user-supplied path parameters
    Affected if File inclusion functions that accept path parameters are present and accessible to subscribers
  4. Test access to sensitive files
    If you have a test Subscriber account, attempt to access sensitive files like /etc/passwd or wp-config.php through Tourmaster file parameters (this is a proof-of-concept and should be done in a dev environment)
    Affected if A low-privilege Subscriber user can successfully read arbitrary server files

You are affected if Tourmaster version is 5.4.5 or below AND Subscriber-level user accounts exist in WordPress AND the vulnerable file inclusion functionality is accessible to those users.

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.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Upgrade Tourmaster to a version newer than 5.4.5. If immediate patching is not feasible, implement strict input validation and path sanitization on file inclusion functions, and consider temporarily restricting Subscriber-level account capabilities until the patch is applied.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Tourmaster version 5.4.6 or latest available (any version above 5.4.5)

  1. 1. Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard
  2. 2. Navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins
  3. 3. Locate the Tourmaster plugin
  4. 4. If an update is available, click 'Update Now' to install the latest version
  5. 5. If no update appears in WordPress, manually download the latest version from WordPress.org or the official themeforest/vendor source
  6. 6. Deactivate the current Tourmaster plugin
  7. 7. Upload and install the new version
  8. 8. Reactivate the plugin
Caveat Review plugin settings after upgrade as minor configuration changes may occur between versions
