Technical details

A Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability exists in the Edge-Themes Overworld theme (versions up to and including 1.5) 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 exploit this to include and execute local files on the server. This can be used to leak sensitive information, such as the wp-config.php file, which contains database credentials. The attack vector is network-based, though it requires low-level authentication and specific environmental conditions (AC:H). As of the advisory date, no official patch has been released.
