NVD · unedited
Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP Remote File Inclusion') vulnerability in RadiusTheme Medilink-Core medilink-core allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects Medilink-Core: from n/a through < 2.0.7.

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

A PHP Local File Inclusion vulnerability exists in RadiusTheme Medilink-Core (versions before 2.0.7) where improper control of filename parameters in include/require statements allows attackers to include arbitrary local PHP files, potentially leading to remote code execution.

MitigationUpdate Medilink-Core to version 2.0.7 or later to patch the file inclusion vulnerability. If immediate update is not possible, disable the plugin/theme until patched.

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 Medilink-Core installation
    Locate the Medilink-Core plugin or theme files in the WordPress wp-content/plugins or wp-content/themes directory. Check for a folder named 'medilink-core' or similar naming pattern from RadiusTheme.
    Affected if The plugin or theme is not present on the system
  2. Identify installed version
    Open the main plugin/theme file (usually medilink-core.php or functions.php) and locate the version defined in the header comment or version constant. Alternatively, check the plugin metadata via WordPress admin plugin list or theme details.
    Affected if Version is present and is below 2.0.7 (e.g., 2.0.6, 2.0.5, 1.x, etc.)
  3. Locate vulnerable include/require statements
    Search the Medilink-Core source files for include, include_once, require, or require_once statements that use variable parameters without sanitization, such as include($file) or require($path . $_GET['file']). Look for dynamic file inclusion patterns.
    Affected if Dynamic include/require statements using unsanitized user input are found in the codebase
  4. Test vulnerable parameter access
    If dynamic file inclusion code is found, attempt to access the suspected endpoint with a benign path traversal attempt (e.g., ?file=../../../../wp-config.php) to confirm the parameter is accepted and processed by the application.
    Affected if The parameter is accepted and the application attempts to include the specified file, demonstrating the LFI vulnerability

The environment is affected if Medilink-Core is installed with a version lower than 2.0.7 AND the vulnerable dynamic file inclusion code path is accessible to attackers.

Mitigation

Update Medilink-Core to version 2.0.7 or later to patch the file inclusion vulnerability. If immediate update is not possible, disable the plugin/theme until patched.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

RadiusTheme Medilink-Core version 2.0.7

  1. 1. Back up your WordPress site and database before performing any updates.
  2. 2. Navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins in your WordPress admin dashboard.
  3. 3. Locate the Medilink-Core plugin by RadiusTheme.
  4. 4. Check the current installed version to confirm it is below 2.0.7.
  5. 5. If an update is available, click 'Update Now' to upgrade to version 2.0.7.
  6. 6. If no automatic update appears, manually download version 2.0.7 from a trusted source and upload it via Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin.
  7. 7. Verify the plugin updated successfully and test site functionality.
  8. 8. Monitor for any security-related plugin updates and apply them promptly.
Caveat Review plugin changelog for any configuration or feature changes between your current version and 2.0.7 before upgrading
