Technical details
A Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability exists in the ThemeREX Tipsy theme for WordPress (versions <= 1.1) due to improper control of filenames in PHP include/require statements (CWE-98). An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this flaw to include and execute local files on the server. This can be used to leak sensitive information, such as the wp-config.php file containing database credentials, or achieve remote code execution if the attacker can upload or manipulate local files. The attack vector is network-based with high complexity, requiring no user interaction or prior authentication. As of the advisory date, no official patch has been released by the developer.
