AI Analysis

Impact

A mismanagement of the filename used in a PHP include statement in the Select‑Themes SetSail theme allows a local file inclusion. This weakness, identified as CWE‑98, means that an attacker can specify an arbitrary path in a request that the theme will then read from the server. The vulnerability could be exploited to read contents of files on the web server’s filesystem, potentially exposing sensitive configuration or data files. The CVE documentation does not assert that the inclusion leads to execution of malicious code, only that files can be read.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the WordPress SetSail theme from Select‑Themes, from its initial release through version 2.1 at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.5 indicates a high severity. The EPSS score is below 1%, suggesting a low but non‑zero probability of exploitation in the wild. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Based on the description, the most plausible attack vector is via a web request that supplies an attacker‑controlled disclosure of sensitive files.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the SetSail theme to a version newer than 2.1
  • Disable the vulnerable include functionality by editing the theme files or using a security plugin to prevent the execution of local files
  • Apply the general WordPress best practice of setting the correct file permissions on the wp-content directory to restrict read/write access to non‑necessary files
