The vulnerability enables an attacker to specify arbitrary local file paths that are included by the theme, potentially exposing sensitive data or executing malicious code. This flaw is classified as CWE-98 and can undermine confidentiality, integrity and potentially availability of the affected WordPress site.

Affected Systems

AncoraThemes Inset, WordPress theme version 1.18.0 and earlier. No additional version details are available; the issue affects all releases through and including v1.18.0.

Risk and Exploitability

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade AncoraThemes Inset to any version later than 1.18.0 once it becomes available.
  • If a quick upgrade is not possible, configure the web server to deny execution of PHP files in directories that may be referenced by the theme’s include logic, such as the uploads or temporary folders.
  • Edit the theme’s code to validate all filenames against a whitelist or enforce absolute paths, removing any untrusted user input before passing it to include or require statements.
