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 Select-Themes Struktur Core allows PHP Local File Inclusion. This issue affects Struktur Core: from n/a before 2.7.

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 · moderate confidence

A PHP Local File Inclusion vulnerability exists in Select-Themes Struktur Core (struktur-core) plugin versions up to 2.5.1, where improper control of filenames in include/require statements allows attackers to include arbitrary local PHP files, potentially leading to remote code execution.

MitigationImplement strict input validation and use allowlist-based file inclusion logic to ensure only authorized, pre-defined files can be included. Validate all user-supplied input before using it in include/require statements.

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. Locate struktur-core plugin installation
    Check your web root for the plugin directory at /wp-content/plugins/struktur-core/ or search for files containing 'struktur-core' in the plugins folder
    Affected if The plugin directory exists on the server
  2. Identify installed version
    Open the main plugin file (typically structure-core.php or similar in the plugin root) and look for a version comment or constant, such as 'Version: x.x.x' or 'define( "STRUKTUR_CORE_VERSION", "..." )'
    Affected if The version number is 2.5.1 or lower, or no version is displayed (meaning it may be an unpatched copy)
  3. Inspect include/require statements for dynamic input usage
    Search the plugin PHP files for include(), require(), include_once(), or require_once() statements that use variables or request parameters without validation, such as 'include($some_var)' or 'include($_GET["file"])'
    Affected if Dynamic file inclusion using unsanitized variables or user input is found in the plugin code
  4. Verify the vulnerability is remotely accessible
    Confirm the vulnerable include code is reachable via a web request by checking if the affected PHP file is accessible through the WordPress frontend or AJAX endpoints
    Affected if The code containing the unsafe include/require is reachable via an HTTP request without authentication

You are affected if the struktur-core plugin is installed at version 2.5.1 or lower and contains dynamic include/require statements using unsanitized user input that are accessible via web requests.
