A Local File Inclusion vulnerability in BZOTheme Petito (versions through 1.6.2) allows attackers to read sensitive files from affected web servers, potentially exposing confidential data,…

How to fix or mitigate CVE-2025-27362?

Within 24 hours: Identify all systems running BZOTheme Petito and isolate or restrict network access to affected instances. Within 7 days: Implement WAF rules to block suspicious file inclusion attempts (monitor for patterns targeting /etc/passwd, .env, wp-config.php); disable the Petito theme or upgrade to a patched version if available, or migrate to an alternative theme. Within 30 days: Conduct security audit of affected systems for unauthorized file access in logs; reset all credentials that may have been exposed; implement file integrity monitoring and access controls on sensitive configuration files.

HIGH 8.1

DescriptionCVE.org

Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP Remote File Inclusion') vulnerability in BZOTheme Petito allows PHP Local File Inclusion. This issue affects Petito: from n/a through 1.6.2.

AnalysisAI

PHP Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability in BZOTheme Petito versions up to 1.6.2 that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to include and execute arbitrary local files on the server. The vulnerability exploits improper control of filename parameters in PHP include/require statements (CWE-98), enabling attackers to read sensitive files, execute code, or compromise server integrity with a CVSS score of 8.1 (High). While no public exploit code or KEV/EPSS data are confirmed in standard databases, the high CVSS and network accessibility make this a significant priority for affected organizations.

Technical ContextAI

This vulnerability is rooted in CWE-98 (Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program), a critical weakness in PHP applications that fail to validate or sanitize user input before passing it to include(), require(), include_once(), or require_once() functions. BZOTheme Petito (a WordPress theme or PHP-based CMS component, based on naming conventions) contains an unvalidated parameter that allows an attacker to manipulate file paths. Rather than true Remote File Inclusion (RFI), this is specifically a Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability, meaning attackers can only access files already present on the target server's filesystem. Attackers can traverse directory structures using path traversal sequences (e.g., '../../../etc/passwd') or reference log files, configuration files, or cached session data to extract sensitive information or achieve code execution via uploaded files or log poisoning techniques. Affected CPE would be: cpe:2.7:a:bzotheme:petito:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* (versions <= 1.6.2).

RemediationAI

Immediate actions: (1) Upgrade BZOTheme Petito to version 1.6.3 or later (patch version not explicitly confirmed in available data, but assume next available release post-1.6.2 addresses this). (2) Contact BZOTheme directly for security advisory and patch availability if version 1.6.3+ is not yet released. (3) Temporary mitigations pending patch: Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to block common LFI payloads (e.g., '../', '..\', 'file://', 'php://filter'); restrict file permissions on sensitive server files (/etc/passwd, config files); disable PHP's allow_url_include directive in php.ini; use suhosin or similar hardening extensions. (4) Code-level fix (if vendor patching is delayed): Sanitize and validate all user inputs passed to include/require statements using a whitelist of allowed files or a robust path canonicalization function (e.g., realpath() with boundary checks). (5) Monitor access logs for LFI exploitation attempts (patterns like '%2e%2e', '....', or suspicious file path requests).
