AI Analysis

Impact

The flaw enables an attacker to read arbitrary files from the server by manipulating the filename used in a PHP include statement. Using an LFI approach, a malicious user could access logs, configuration files, or other sensitive data, providing a foothold for further exploitation such as code execution or privilege escalation.

Affected Systems

WordPress installations that use the Calafate theme version 1.7.7 or earlier are vulnerable. Any site still running those theme versions remains susceptible.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.5 indicates a high potential impact, yet the EPSS score below 1% suggests the probability of exploitation is currently low. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Based on the description, it is inferred that an attacker could leverage the LFI flaw by manipulating the file name used in the theme’s PHP include statement, but the exact attack vector is not detailed in the provided data.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Calafate theme to 1.7.8 or later to apply the vendor fix.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, uninstall or disable the Calafate theme to remove the vulnerable code path.
  • Configure PHP and the web server to restrict include paths, disable allow_url_include, and restrict inclusion to trusted directories to harden the environment against local file inclusion attempts.
