AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is an unauthenticated Local File Inclusion in the Skyward theme for WordPress versions 1.10 and earlier. The flaw allows an attacker to read arbitrary files from the web server, exposing configuration data, credentials, or other sensitive information. If the included file contains executable code, an attacker could potentially execute arbitrary commands, escalating the impact to remote code execution.

Affected Systems

Affected systems are installations running ThemeREX Skyward theme version 1.10 or older on WordPress sites. Any user who can construct URLs to the theme’s file inclusion handler can exploit the flaw.

Risk and Exploitability

CVSS score of 8.1 indicates high severity. The EPSS score is not available, and it is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack vector is likely a web request to the vulnerable site, with no authentication required. Because it is unauthenticated, any visitor could exploit it, making the risk significant for sites running affected versions.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Skyward theme to the latest stable release (1.11 or later) to eliminate the LFI flaw.
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, disable or whitelist file inclusion parameters in the theme by editing the theme files or using a security plugin, ensuring that only approved paths are allowed and addressing CWE‑98 through proper input validation.
  • Apply PHP configuration hardening: set allow_url_include to Off and disable unsafe functions such as system and exec, or use safe_mode, to reduce the impact of any remaining inclusion path.
  • Scan the site for LFI signatures and monitor logs for suspicious file inclusion attempts.
