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 Tonda tonda allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects Tonda: from n/a through <= 2.5.

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 (LFI) vulnerability exists in the Tonda theme (versions <=2.5) by Select-Themes. The vulnerability stems from improper control of filenames used in include/require statements, allowing attackers to manipulate file paths and potentially execute arbitrary PHP code by including malicious files from the local filesystem.

MitigationUpgrade the Tonda theme to the latest version, or implement strict input validation/sanitization on all file inclusion parameters (include, require, include_once, require_once) to restrict paths to whitelisted directories. If upgrading is not immediately possible, disable the affected functionality or implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules as a temporary mitigation.

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 the Tonda theme installation
    Search the webroot for directories named 'tonda', 'select-tonda', or similar. Common paths include wp-content/themes/tonda (WordPress) or themes/tonda (generic). Check theme style.css or theme.json for the version declaration.
    Affected if The Tonda theme by Select-Themes is installed and the version cannot be determined or is <=2.5
  2. Verify the installed theme version
    Open the theme's main style.css file (usually in the theme root) and look for 'Version:' in the header comment. Compare this version number against the <=2.5 threshold.
    Affected if The declared version is 2.5 or lower, or the version line is missing/unreadable
  3. Identify PHP files with include/require statements
    Search the theme directory for .php files containing 'include', 'require', 'include_once', or 'require_once' - especially those using variables in the path (e.g., include($file), require($_GET['page']).
    Affected if Dynamic file inclusion statements that use variable or user-input-derived paths are found in the theme's PHP files
  4. Check for unsafe parameter handling in file inclusion
    Examine the identified include/require statements for lack of sanitization. Look for direct use of $_GET, $_POST, or $_REQUEST variables in the file path without basename(), realpath(), or whitelist validation.
    Affected if User-controllable parameters (from URL or form input) flow directly into include/require statements without validation
  5. Identify accessible vulnerable endpoints
    If the above conditions exist, test common parameter names like 'page', 'file', 'template', 'path', or 'include' in the theme's PHP files to see if they can be manipulated via HTTP requests.
    Affected if The vulnerable file inclusion code is reachable via HTTP requests and accepts user-supplied path values

If the Tonda theme version is 2.5 or lower AND the theme contains dynamic include/require statements that accept user input without sanitization, the environment is affected by this LFI vulnerability.

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

Upgrade the Tonda theme to the latest version, or implement strict input validation/sanitization on all file inclusion parameters (include, require, include_once, require_once) to restrict paths to whitelisted directories. If upgrading is not immediately possible, disable the affected functionality or implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules as a temporary mitigation.
