CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HCVSS and EPSS are reproduced from their sources (NVD, FIRST EPSS). Risk Priority is our own derived reading, not an NVD score.
Summary
CVE-2025-30891 is a high-severity PHP Remote File Inclusion (CWE-98) vulnerability. Its CVSS base score is 8.8 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 48% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.
Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary
Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2025-30891 is a PHP Local File Inclusion vulnerability arising from improper control of filenames in include/require statements. It affects the WpTravelly tour-booking-manager WordPress plugin by magepeopleteam, impacting all versions through 1.8.7. The flaw is tracked under CWE-98 and carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8.
An authenticated attacker with low-privileged access can supply a crafted filename parameter to force the inclusion of arbitrary local files on the server. Successful exploitation grants the ability to read sensitive files, execute limited code, or achieve full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability on the affected WordPress site.
The primary public reference is the Patchstack advisory, which documents the issue and points to an available update that resolves the vulnerability in WpTravelly. The EPSS score rose from a low baseline to a recorded peak of 0.0263 before settling at the current value of 0.0155, indicating emerging post-disclosure interest that warrants renewed attention from defenders.

Mitigating Controls
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and static analysis can discover missing filename restrictions before deployment.
Validating all inputs before they reach include/require statements directly stops untrusted filenames from being used.
Enforcing access authorizations on resources limits what an included file can reach even if a bad name is supplied.
Information-flow rules can block the loading of external or unauthorized files into the PHP process.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Secure SDLC practices such as input validation and allow-listing of include paths directly prevent the weakness.
Hardened runtime configuration (e.g., allow_url_include=off) directly blocks RFI even if code is flawed.
Execution restrictions can prevent the remote payload from running, while eliminating the weakness reduces the need for such controls.
Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Security testing can detect RFI but does not prevent the weakness by itself.
Secure coding standards directly require whitelisting and sanitization of filenames used in include/require statements.
