AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability arises from improper validation of filenames used in PHP include or require statements within the AncoraThemes W&D theme. Attackers can manipulate the filename parameter in a web request to include arbitrary local files, leading to disclosure of sensitive data and potentially execution of malicious code. This flaw corresponds to CWE‑98, a Local File Inclusion weakness.

Affected Systems

The affected product is the AncoraThemes W&D WordPress theme, versions from the initial release up to and including 1.0. Older or newer releases are not affected according to the CNA data.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.1 indicates high severity. The EPSS score is below 1 % suggesting a low probability of exploitation in the near term, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers can exploit the flaw remotely by sending a crafted request containing a controlled filename; the impact is restricted to the local server environment unless the LFI can be leveraged further to inject exploitable code.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the AncoraThemes W&D theme to a version newer than 1.0, which removes the vulnerable include logic.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, remove or disable any theme features that accept file paths from user input, and apply input validation to prevent arbitrary filenames from being passed to include or require functions.
  • Configure the web server to deny direct access to sensitive files and directories, and set appropriate file permissions on the theme’s PHP files to mitigate potential exploitation.
