Deeper analysis

CVE-2025-60087 is an Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program vulnerability, classified as a PHP Remote File Inclusion issue that enables PHP Local File Inclusion, affecting the Extensive VC Addons for WPBakery Page Builder plugin (extensive-vc-addon) developed by Nenad Obradovic. This flaw impacts all versions from n/a through 1.9.1. It carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.1 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) and maps to CWE-98.

Remote, unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability over the network without requiring user interaction, though exploitation demands high attack complexity. Successful attacks enable high-impact compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability, allowing inclusion and potential execution of local PHP files on the target server.

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match
prevent

Timely remediation of the known flaw in Extensive VC Addons for WPBakery plugin versions through 1.9.1 directly prevents exploitation of the PHP local file inclusion vulnerability.

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match
prevent

Validating filenames and paths used in PHP include/require statements directly prevents improper control leading to local file inclusion.

CM-6 Configuration Settings partial match
prevent

Secure configuration settings for PHP, such as open_basedir restrictions or disabling allow_url_include, mitigate file inclusion by limiting accessible paths.
