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

This is a PHP Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability in the Eleblog WordPress plugin that allows attackers to include arbitrary PHP files from the server. The vulnerability stems from improper control of filename parameters in include/require statements, potentially enabling sensitive file disclosure or remote code execution.

MitigationUpdate Eleblog plugin to the latest version beyond 2.0.3. If no update is available, disable the plugin until a patch is released, or implement input validation and proper file path sanitization on any vulnerable endpoints.

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. Confirm Eleblog plugin is installed
    Navigate to WordPress admin dashboard > Plugins > Installed Plugins, or inspect the /wp-content/plugins/ directory for an 'eleblog' folder
    Affected if The Eleblog plugin folder exists in the WordPress plugins directory
  2. Check Eleblog version number
    In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and locate Eleblog to read the version number, or check the main plugin PHP file for a version constant
    Affected if The installed version is 2.0.3 or lower
  3. Verify plugin is active
    In WordPress admin > Plugins, confirm Eleblog shows as 'Active'
    Affected if The plugin is actively running on the site
  4. Identify include/require usage with dynamic parameters
    Review plugin source code in the /wp-content/plugins/eleblog/ directory for PHP include, include_once, require, or require_once statements that use variables in the file path (e.g., include($file) or require($_GET['file']) )
    Affected if The plugin contains dynamic file inclusion patterns using uncontrolled input
  5. Check for exposed input vectors
    Identify any frontend-facing parameters (GET/POST requests) that could influence the file path used in include/require statements within the plugin
    Affected if User-supplied input can reach the file inclusion function without sanitization

You are affected if Eleblog plugin version 2.0.3 or lower is installed, active, and contains dynamic file inclusion code accessible via user-controlled input parameters.
