## Technical details

A Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability exists in the AxiomThemes Promo theme for WordPress (versions <= 1.3.0) due to improper control of filenames used in PHP include or require statements (CWE-98). An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by sending crafted requests to include local files from the server's filesystem. While the CVSS vector indicates high complexity (AC:H), successful exploitation allows the attacker to read sensitive files like wp-config.php, which contains database credentials. As of the advisory date, no official patch has been released by the vendor, though third-party mitigation rules are available.
