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 TieLabs Jannah jannah allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects Jannah: from n/a through <= 7.6.4.

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

Local File Inclusion vulnerability in the TieLabs Jannah WordPress theme allows attackers to manipulate PHP include/require statements to read arbitrary files from the server filesystem. The theme <= 7.6.4 fails to properly validate or sanitize file paths used in include statements, enabling unauthenticated attackers to potentially access sensitive system files.

MitigationUpdate Jannah theme to the latest patched version available from TieLabs. If immediate update is not feasible, disable the theme or implement web application firewall rules to block directory traversal patterns in request parameters.

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 Jannah theme installation
    Navigate to WordPress admin dashboard under Appearance > Themes, or inspect wp-content/themes directory for the jannah theme folder
    Affected if The Jannah theme by TieLabs is present in the WordPress installation
  2. Check installed theme version
    Open the style.css file within the jannah theme folder (wp-content/themes/jannah/style.css) and locate the 'Version:' header in the file comments, or check theme version via WordPress admin theme details
    Affected if The reported version is 7.6.4 or lower
  3. Identify vulnerable include/require patterns
    Search theme PHP files (particularly in functions.php, header.php, or any file handling template includes) for include(), require(), include_once(), or require_once() statements that use unsanitized variables from request parameters (e.g., $_GET, $_POST)
    Affected if Theme code contains include/require statements using raw user input without validation
  4. Test for LFI exposure via HTTP parameters
    If the vulnerable code uses a parameter (commonly 'template', 'file', 'path', or similar), attempt a benign test request with a known safe file path (e.g., ../../wp-config.php) to see if content is returned; alternatively, review access logs for directory traversal patterns
    Affected if HTTP requests with traversal patterns (../) in query parameters return file contents or succeed without error
  5. Check for recent unauthorized access
    Review web server access logs and WordPress audit logs for suspicious requests containing '../' or absolute file paths (e.g., /etc/passwd, wp-config.php) targeting Jannah theme endpoints
    Affected if Logs show directory traversal attempts or successful retrieval of sensitive files

A user is affected if the Jannah theme version is 7.6.4 or lower and the theme contains include/require logic that processes user-supplied file paths without sanitization.
