Technical details

A Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability exists in the ThemeREX Skyward theme for WordPress (versions <= 1.10) due to improper control of filenames in PHP include/require statements (CWE-98). An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by submitting specially crafted requests to include local files from the server. Successful exploitation can lead to the disclosure of sensitive information, such as the wp-config.php file, or potentially remote code execution if combined with other techniques like log file poisoning. As of the advisory date, no official patch has been released, and users are advised to use third-party mitigation rules or switch themes.
