NVD · uneditedImproper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP Remote File Inclusion') vulnerability in AncoraThemes CasaMia | Property Rental Real Estate WordPress Theme casamia allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects CasaMia | Property Rental Real Estate WordPress Theme: from n/a through <= 1.1.2.
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 · high confidenceA PHP Local File Inclusion vulnerability in the CasaMia WordPress Theme allows attackers to manipulate file inclusion parameters to execute arbitrary PHP code. The improper control of filename for include/require statements enables reading sensitive files or achieving remote code execution depending on server 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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify if CasaMia theme is installedNavigate to wp-content/themes/ directory and check for a folder named 'casamia' or 'CasaMia', or check via WordPress admin under Appearance > ThemesAffected if The CasaMia theme folder exists in the themes directory
-
Determine the installed CasaMia theme versionCheck the style.css file in the CasaMia theme folder for the 'Version:' header, or look for a version.php/changelog file within the themeAffected if The version cannot be determined or is older than the patched version
-
Identify vulnerable file inclusion endpointsSearch theme PHP files for include/require statements that use unsanitized variables (e.g., include($_GET['file']) or require($some_variable)) - common patterns include parameters like 'file', 'path', 'page', 'template', or 'load'Affected if Theme files contain dynamic file inclusion using request parameters without proper sanitization
-
Test for accessible LFI parametersIf vulnerable include patterns are found, attempt a controlled test using a benign file path (e.g., adding ?file=../../../../wp-config.php to suspected endpoints to see if content is returned)Affected if The application returns file contents when given traversal patterns in include parameters
A user is affected if the CasaMia theme is installed AND contains dynamic file inclusion logic using unsanitized request parameters that can be manipulated for directory traversal.

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 dataUpdate the CasaMia theme to the latest patched version. If no patch is available, replace the theme with a secure alternative or deploy a WAF rule to block directory traversal patterns in include/require parameters.
