AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability arises from improper control of filenames used in PHP include/require statements within the Mikado-Themes Optimize WordPress theme. An attacker who can influence the filename parameter may trigger local file inclusion, enabling the reading of sensitive files on the server or, with the ability to write arbitrary PHP, execution of malicious code.

Affected Systems

Affected products are the Mikado-Themes Optimize WordPress theme, impacting all releases prior to 2.4. No specific patch version details are listed in the CVE, but the core fix is available in version 2.4.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 8.1 and the EPSS score is less than 1%, indicating a relatively high impact but a low likelihood of exploitation today. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is a crafted URL or form submission that feeds a malicious filename into the theme’s include logic; local file inclusion could then expose sensitive files or lead to code execution if the attacker can place a PHP file on the server.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the Optimize theme to version 2.4 or later, which removes the vulnerable inclusion logic.
  • If an update is not immediately possible, locate any vendor‑supplied patch or workaround and apply it to the theme files.
  • Validate and sanitize any file path parameters in theme code, or remove any unused include mechanisms that reference external paths.
  • Patch the underlying server configuration to deny directory listings and restrict access to critical files such as wp-config.php, and consider disabling allow_url_include.
