# PHP Remote File Inclusion
## Description
The server is vulnerable to PHP Remote File Inclusion (RFI), which enables attackers to load
remote files and have them executed as PHP scripts on the server side. This vulnerability occurs
when untrusted user input is directly used in script inclusion without proper validation. Attackers
can leverage this vulnerability to include and execute arbitrary remote files, potentially
compromising the system's integrity and confidentiality.
## Remediation
Avoid using user-controlled data directly in `include` and `require` statements and instead consider
an allow-list approach for dynamically including scripts.
If possible, also consider setting `allow_url_include=Off` in the server's PHP configuration to
ensure URLs cannot be used in `include` and `require` statements.
