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 wphocus My auctions allegro my-auctions-allegro-free-edition allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects My auctions allegro: from n/a through <= 3.6.33.
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 PHP Local File Inclusion vulnerability exists in the wphocus My auctions allegro WordPress plugin (versions <= 3.6.33) where user-supplied input is improperly validated before being used in include/require statements, potentially allowing attackers to read sensitive local files from the server filesystem.

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.
-
Verify if My auctions allegro plugin is installedAccess WordPress admin dashboard, navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins, or inspect the wp-content/plugins/ directory for a folder named 'my-auctions-allegro' or similar wphocus auction-related pluginAffected if The plugin folder exists in the WordPress plugins directory
-
Determine the installed plugin versionCheck the plugin header comment in the main PHP file (usually my-auctions-allegro.php) for the Version field, or view the version in the WordPress plugins admin pageAffected if The reported version is 3.6.33 or lower
-
Confirm the plugin is activeCheck the WordPress database wp_options table for option_name containing 'active_plugins', or view the Plugins admin page statusAffected if The plugin appears in the list of active plugins
-
Identify PHP files handling include/require statementsSearch the plugin directory for PHP files containing include, include_once, require, or require_once statements, particularly looking for variables used in these statementsAffected if The plugin contains include/require statements that use variables without sanitization
-
Check for accessible vulnerable endpointsReview the plugin's router or main entry points to identify parameters that could control the include/require paths (common parameter names: file, page, template, path, include)Affected if User-supplied parameters can be passed to include/require functions without validation
-
Review web server access logs for exploitation attemptsSearch access logs (typically in /var/log/apache2/ or /var/log/nginx/) for requests containing directory traversal patterns (../) targeting the plugin's PHP filesAffected if Logs show requests with traversal patterns pointing to plugin files
You are affected if the My auctions allegro plugin is installed, active, and running version 3.6.33 or lower, with vulnerable include/require code accessible via URL parameters.

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 dataUpgrade to a patched version of the My auctions allegro plugin. If no patched version is available, disable the plugin. Additionally, implement web application firewall rules to block directory traversal patterns (e.g., ../../../) in incoming requests.
