Technical details

A Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability exists in the Solene WordPress theme (versions 3.4 and below) due to improper control of filenames in PHP include/require statements (CWE-98). An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by sending crafted requests to include local files from the server. Successful exploitation can lead to the disclosure of sensitive information, such as wp-config.php, or potentially remote code execution if the attacker can upload or find a way to execute local files. The vulnerability is patched in version 3.4.1.
