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 ovatheme Tripgo tripgo allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects Tripgo: from n/a through < 1.5.6.

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 confidence

The ovatheme Tripgo theme before version 1.5.6 contains a PHP Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability where user-supplied input is used in include/require statements without proper validation, potentially allowing attackers to read sensitive files on the server.

MitigationUpgrade Tripgo theme to version 1.5.6 or later to obtain the security patch; if immediate upgrade is not possible, disable the affected component and implement input validation on any file inclusion 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. Check Tripgo theme version
    Locate the theme's style.css file (typically in wp-content/themes/tripgo/) and find the 'Version:' declaration in the file header, or check theme.json if present
    Affected if The version is below 1.5.6 (e.g., 1.5.5, 1.5.4, etc.) or if no version is specified
  2. Verify theme is active
    In the WordPress admin dashboard under Appearance > Themes, confirm that Tripgo theme is currently activated
    Affected if Tripgo is the active theme - only active themes can be exploited for LFI
  3. Identify file inclusion code patterns
    Search theme PHP files for include, require, include_once, or require_once statements that use user input ($_GET, $_POST, $_REQUEST, etc.) as the path parameter, for example: include($_REQUEST['file'])
    Affected if Such patterns exist in the theme code without proper sanitization of the input parameter
  4. Check for vulnerable parameter exposure
    Examine URL parameters used in the theme (commonly 'file', 'page', 'template', 'path') to see if they are passed directly to include/require statements without validation
    Affected if The theme accepts and processes file inclusion parameters through GET or POST requests without validation

You are affected if the Tripgo theme version is below 1.5.6, the theme is active, and the theme contains file inclusion code that uses unsanitized user input from request parameters.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Upgrade Tripgo theme to version 1.5.6 or later to obtain the security patch; if immediate upgrade is not possible, disable the affected component and implement input validation on any file inclusion parameters.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Tripgo version 1.5.6 or later

  1. 1. Backup your current website files and database before making any changes
  2. 2. Navigate to the theme management section in your WordPress admin dashboard or access your hosting file manager
  3. 3. Locate the ovatheme Tripgo theme in your wp-content/themes directory
  4. 4. Upgrade Tripgo theme to version 1.5.6 or later by uploading the new theme package
  5. 5. Verify the theme version has been updated successfully
  6. 6. Test critical functionality to ensure the site works correctly after the upgrade
  7. 7. Clear any caching systems if implemented
