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 Mikado-Themes MultiOffice multioffice allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects MultiOffice: 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

A PHP Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability exists in the Mikado-Themes MultiOffice theme (versions up to 1.2) due to improper control of filename parameters in include/require statements, allowing attackers to include arbitrary files from the server file system.

MitigationUpgrade to a patched version of the MultiOffice theme; if unavailable, implement strict input validation/whitelisting on file inclusion functions and disable allow_url_include in PHP configuration.

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 MultiOffice theme installation
    Locate the theme files on the web server. Check the theme's version.php or style.css file typically found in wp-content/themes/mikado-multioffice/ or similar paths depending on the CMS platform. Look for version declaration strings.
    Affected if The MultiOffice theme by Mikado-Themes is installed and the version is 1.2 or lower
  2. Determine the installed theme version
    Open the theme's version file (commonly version.php, style.css header, or theme.yml) and locate the version number. Compare it against the affected range: versions up to and including 1.2 are vulnerable.
    Affected if The installed version is 1.2 or any earlier version of the MultiOffice theme
  3. Locate file inclusion code in theme files
    Search theme PHP files for dynamic include/require statements that use variables or request parameters without sanitization. Look for patterns like 'include($_GET[...])', 'require($file)', 'include($path)', or similar unsanitized variable usage in include/require functions.
    Affected if The theme contains include/require statements using unsanitized user input (GET, POST, or cookie parameters) as file paths
  4. Verify input validation on file inclusion functions
    Review the PHP code handling file inclusion within the theme. Check if filename parameters are validated against a whitelist, sanitized with basename(), or otherwise strictly controlled before being used in include/require statements.
    Affected if No input validation, sanitization, or whitelisting is performed on file path parameters before inclusion
  5. Check PHP configuration for dangerous settings
    Review the php.ini configuration file. Check the values of allow_url_include (should be Off) and open_basedir restrictions. While LFI typically does not require URL includes, these settings indicate overall security posture.
    Affected if allow_url_include is enabled and no open_basedir restrictions are in place (this alone does not confirm LFI but indicates higher risk)

You are affected if the MultiOffice theme version 1.2 or lower is installed AND the theme contains unsanitized file inclusion logic using include/require with dynamic file paths.
