Executive brief
The AirSupply theme for WordPress is vulnerable to a security flaw that allows unauthorized individuals to access sensitive files on the web server. By exploiting this vulnerability, an attacker could potentially view configuration files containing database credentials, leading to a full takeover of the website and its data. This issue affects all versions up to and including 2.0.0, and there is currently no official patch available from the developer.
Technical details
A Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability exists in the ThemeREX AirSupply theme for WordPress (versions <= 2.0.0) due to improper control of filenames in PHP include/require statements (CWE-98). An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by sending specially crafted requests to include local files from the server's filesystem. Successful exploitation can lead to the disclosure of sensitive information, such as wp-config.php, or potentially remote code execution if the attacker can upload or influence the content of a local file. As of the advisory date, no official patch has been released, though third-party mitigation rules are available.
