AI Analysis

Impact

This vulnerability in the Don-Themes Molla WordPress theme is an improper control of filenames used in include/require statements, allowing the execution of arbitrary local files. An attacker who can influence the parameter resolved by the include can read sensitive files or execute code if the PHP engine is permissive. The flaw is classified as a PHP Local File Inclusion and does not require remote file loading; it relies solely on local file paths.

Affected Systems

The Don-Themes Molla theme for WordPress is affected, specifically all releases up to and including version 1.5.16. No other registered vendors or products are listed, and the vulnerability cuts across the entire version range before 1.5.16.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.1 indicates a high severity risk. The EPSS score of less than 1% suggests that exploitation is unlikely at present, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. Based on the description, the likely attack vector is a local attacker who can supply or manipulate input that is passed directly to an include or require statement. Successful exploitation could lead to information disclosure or code execution within the context of the authenticated user or, if the site is compromised, the entire webserver.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Molla theme to the latest available version (which removes the vulnerable include logic).
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, modify the theme code to validate file names against a strict whitelist before passing them to include or require.
  • Ensure PHP configuration disables insecure operations by setting allow_url_include and allow_url_fopen to Off and limiting the include_path to trusted directories.
