AI Analysis

Impact

The SevenTrees WordPress theme contains an improper validation of file names used in PHP include or require calls, allowing an attacker to provide arbitrary paths. This flaw is identified as CWE‑98 and is scored 8.1 on the CVSS v3 baseline. The vulnerability allows PHP local file inclusion, which can reveal sensitive data on the server or interfere with the normal operation of the website.

Affected Systems

Users of the axiomthemes SevenTrees theme version 1.0.2 or earlier are affected. The issue appears across all WordPress installations that activate this theme.

Risk and Exploitability

The EPSS score is below 1 % and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, indicating a low current exploitation likelihood. Nevertheless, the high CVSS rating signals that, if an attacker can successfully manipulate the file path, the resulting local file inclusion can compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the web application.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the SevenTrees theme to the latest released version, which removes the vulnerable include logic.
  • If an update is not available, disable or delete the theme to eliminate the attack vector.
  • Configure the web server or WordPress environment to disallow PHP execution within the theme directory, for example by placing an .htaccess rule that blocks PHP processing for files under wp-content/themes/seventrees.
  • Review the theme’s source code to ensure that all include/require statements that use user‑supplied values are properly validated against a whitelist of allowed files.
