## Technical details

A Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability exists in the Elated-Themes Flow theme for WordPress due to improper control of filenames in include or require statements (CWE-98). An attacker with low-level 'Contributor' privileges can manipulate input to include local files from the server. This can lead to the disclosure of sensitive information, such as the wp-config.php file, or potentially remote code execution if the attacker can upload or find a controllable file on the system. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 1.8. No official patch is available as the software is considered abandoned; security researchers recommend removing the theme.
