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
Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP Remote File Inclusion') vulnerability in AncoraThemes Woopy woopy allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects Woopy: from n/a through <= 1.2.

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 AncoraThemes Woopy theme where improper control of filename parameters in include/require statements allows attackers to include and execute arbitrary local PHP files on the server.

MitigationImplement strict input validation and whitelist-based filtering for file inclusion paths; upgrade to the latest version if a patch is available, or refactor the code to use static includes instead of dynamic file paths.

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 if Woopy theme is installed
    Check for the presence of the AncoraThemes Woopy theme in your WordPress installation's wp-content/themes directory. Look for a folder named 'woopy' or similar.
    Affected if The Woopy theme by AncoraThemes is present in the themes directory
  2. Determine the installed theme version
    Locate the theme's style.css file within the woopy theme folder and check the 'Version:' header in the CSS file comments, or check any version.php file if present.
    Affected if The version cannot be verified as patched or is within an unknown affected range
  3. Identify PHP files with dynamic file inclusion
    Search the theme's PHP files for include, require, include_once, or require_once statements that use variables in the file path (e.g., include($file), require($_GET['path'])) without proper sanitization.
    Affected if Dynamic file inclusion code using unsanitized user input is found in theme PHP files
  4. Check for vulnerable file parameter handling
    Examine the identified inclusion code to determine if file path parameters are derived from user-supplied input (GET/POST parameters) without validation or whitelist filtering.
    Affected if File inclusion parameters accept direct user input without validation or whitelist-based filtering

A user is affected if the AncoraThemes Woopy theme is installed and contains dynamic file inclusion code that uses unsanitized user input in include/require statements.
