Technical details

The Eventicity theme for WordPress (versions <= 1.5) is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion (LFI) due to improper control of filenames passed to 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 the wp-config.php file containing database credentials, 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, and users are advised to use third-party security rules or migrate to a supported theme.
