CVE-2026-22506
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 Elated-Themes Amoli amoli allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects Amoli: from n/a through <= 1.0.
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 · high confidenceThe Amoli theme by Elated-Themes contains a Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability where PHP include/require statements use unsanitized user input. An attacker can manipulate file path parameters to include arbitrary local files, potentially exposing sensitive configuration data, credentials, or source code.

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.
-
Confirm Amoli theme installationLocate the theme directory - typically found in wp-content/themes/amoli or similar CMS theme paths. Check for theme configuration files like style.css containing 'Amoli' or 'Elated-Themes' in the metadata.Affected if The Amoli theme by Elated-Themes is installed on the server.
-
Identify PHP files with dynamic include/requireSearch the theme directory for PHP files containing 'include(', 'require(', 'include_once(', or 'require_once(' followed by variables. Use grep or similar: grep -r '\$.*include' /path/to/amoli/theme/Affected if PHP files use include/require statements with variable parameters.
-
Inspect input sources in inclusion statementsExamine identified inclusion files. Trace where the included variable originates - check $_GET, $_POST, $_REQUEST, or other user-controlled variables used in the file path.Affected if User-supplied input (GET/POST parameters) flows directly into include/require statements without sanitization.
-
Verify absence of input validationLook for validation functions like basename(), realpath(), whitelist checks, or regex patterns that sanitize file path parameters before use in include/require.Affected if No input validation, sanitization, or whitelist-based filtering exists on file path parameters used in dynamic includes.
A user is affected if the Amoli theme is installed and its PHP code contains include/require statements that accept unsanitized user input for file paths.

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 dataReplace dynamic file inclusion with whitelist-based validation; sanitize all input used in include/require statements and upgrade to a patched version if available.
