AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability arises from improper control of filename in a PHP include/require statement, allowing a local file inclusion flaw in the AncoraThemes Etta WordPress theme. It can be exploited to read or execute arbitrary files on the server, potentially exposing sensitive data or achieving remote code execution. This weakness is identified as CWE‑98.

Affected Systems

AncoraThemes Etta WordPress theme versions up to and including 1.14.0 are affected. No additional products or versions are listed as impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.1 indicates high severity, yet the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a very low probability of exploitation at present, and the vulnerability is not yet listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is an unauthenticated web request that manipulates a file path parameter within the theme’s code, enabling the include of local files or, if the server permits, remote files, leading to information disclosure or execution of malicious code.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update AncoraThemes Etta to a version newer than 1.14.0
  • If an immediate update is not possible, configure the web server to disallow PHP includes of local files from anonymous requests, and restrict file permissions so that the web process cannot read sensitive files
  • Enable WordPress security plugins that block LFI attempts and monitor logs for suspicious file inclusion patterns
