Impact

A vulnerability in the snstheme DSK WordPress theme allows PHP local file inclusion. Improper control of filenames in include/require statements means an attacker can read arbitrary local files on the web server. The weakness is classified as CWE-98 and is graded with a CVSS score of 8.1, indicating a high potential impact on confidentiality and integrity of systems that host the theme.

Affected Systems

The DSK theme from snstheme is affected. All available releases prior to version 2.4, including the earliest available up to but not including 2.4, contain the flaw; no specific sub‑versions are specified.

Risk and Exploitability

The high CVSS score indicates serious risk, while the EPSS score of < 1% suggests that exploit activity is currently limited. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The description does not explicitly state an attack vector, but it is inferred that an attacker would supply a crafted filename through a request parameter or input field that the theme passes directly to an include or require call, enabling inclusion of arbitrary local files.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the DSK theme to version 2.4 or later to remove the insecure include logic and fix the CWE‑98 vulnerability.
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, disable the DSK theme or replace it with a non‑vulnerable theme to eliminate the vulnerable code path.
  • Ensure that file permissions for the theme directory restrict write access to trusted users only, and verify that the PHP include path does not point to writable directories, thereby mitigating the risk of arbitrary local file inclusion.
