CVE-2026-39522
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 · uneditedUnauthenticated Local File Inclusion in Solene <= 3.4 versions.
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 confidenceUnauthenticated Local File Inclusion vulnerability in Solene CMS version 3.4 and below allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files on the server by manipulating file path parameters without authentication.

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 Solene CMS versionLocate the version file or admin panel in the Solene installation directory (commonly version.php, about.php, or in the admin dashboard). Check the file contents or page for the exact version number.Affected if The installed version is 3.4 or any version lower than 3.4.
-
Confirm application is network-accessibleVerify that the Solene CMS web interface is accessible over the network without requiring authentication. Attempt to access the main page or known endpoints without providing login credentials.Affected if The application accepts unauthenticated HTTP requests.
-
Locate file path parametersReview the application's source code or traffic patterns for parameters that accept file paths (common names include 'file', 'path', 'page', 'template', 'include', or similar). Search the web root for PHP files that use functions like include(), require(), file_get_contents(), or readfile() with variables derived from request parameters.Affected if Parameters accepting file paths are present and reachable without authentication.
-
Test for path traversal protectionSend crafted requests with '../' sequences in the file parameter (e.g., ?file=../../etc/passwd or ?page=../../config.php) and observe whether the application returns the requested file contents or blocks the request with an error.Affected if The application returns arbitrary file contents when path traversal sequences are used in the parameter.
-
Review access logs for LFI patternsExamine web server access logs (typically in /var/log/apache2/, /var/log/nginx/, or the web server's log directory) for requests containing '../' or absolute paths like '/etc/passwd' in query parameters.Affected if Logs show requests with traversal patterns that successfully retrieved file contents.
You are affected if Solene CMS version 3.4 or below is installed AND the application accepts unauthenticated requests with file path parameters that can be manipulated to read arbitrary files.

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 dataUpgrade Solene to a version newer than 3.4. If no patch is available, implement strict input validation and whitelist-based file access controls to prevent path traversal attacks.
