Technical details
A Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability exists in the Elated-Themes Audrey theme for WordPress through version 1.5. The flaw stems from improper control of filenames for include/require statements (CWE-98), allowing an unauthenticated remote attacker to include arbitrary local files from the server. While the attack complexity is rated as high, successful exploitation could lead to the disclosure of sensitive information such as wp-config.php or even remote code execution if the attacker can leverage file wrappers or log poisoning. As of the advisory date, no official patch has been released, and users are advised to use third-party security mitigations.
