Technical details

A Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability exists in the ThemeMove Billey theme for WordPress (versions <= 2.1.8) due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input used in PHP include or require statements (CWE-98). An attacker with at least 'Contributor' level privileges can manipulate file paths to include and execute local files on the server. This can lead to the exposure of sensitive information, such as wp-config.php, 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.
