Analysis

AI-generated

Technical impact

An unrestricted file upload vulnerability allows attackers to upload files with dangerous types, including web shells, into the server’s file system. The flaw can lead to remote code execution for the website’s owner.

Affected Systems

Affected products include the Themify Sidepane WordPress Theme (up to version 1.9.8), Themify Newsy WordPress Theme (up to 1.9.9), Themify Folo WordPress Theme (up to 1.9.6), Themify Edmin WordPress Theme (up to 2.0.0), Bloggie WordPress Theme (up to 2.0.8), Photobox WordPress Theme (up to 2.0.1), Wigi WordPress Theme (up to 2.0.1), Rezo WordPress Theme (up to 1.9.7), and Slide WordPress Theme (up to 1.7.5).

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 9.9 reflects a high severity due to the potential for executing arbitrary code. The EPSS score of less than 1% shows a low current probability of exploitation, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. Attackers can likely exploit the flaw by accessing the theme’s upload interface over the web, without needing privileged account access, and upload a web shell that is then executable on the server.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade all affected Themify themes to the latest available releases.
  • If an update is unavailable, disable or restrict the upload functionality in the theme settings and configure the web server to allow only safe file types such as .jpg, .png, and .gif.
  • Add a web application firewall rule to block the execution of uploaded files and to filter known shell patterns.
  • Regularly monitor server logs for unexpected file uploads or execution attempts.
