## Technical details

A Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability exists in the ThemeREX Eros theme for WordPress through version 1.3. The flaw stems from improper validation of user-supplied input used in PHP 'include' or 'require' statements (CWE-98), allowing an unauthenticated remote attacker to specify local files for execution or display. While the attack complexity is rated as high, a successful exploit could allow an attacker to retrieve sensitive information such as wp-config.php or other system files, potentially leading to remote code execution if combined with other techniques. As of the advisory date, no official patch has been released by the vendor.
