MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Command and Control The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires reaching a Prisma theme code path that passes attacker-controlled input into a PHP include/require statement, per CWE-98 - i.e. a theme parameter (template name, file, or page path) that is not properly validated. Per the CVSS vector (PR:N/UI:N) no authentication or user interaction is required, and the vector is network-reachable (AV:N). What LIMITS exploitation: AC:H indicates non-trivial conditions must be met - the attacker must know or discover the vulnerable parameter and craft a valid path, and full code execution (versus mere file disclosure) further depends on the attacker's ability to stage includable PHP content (e.g. via log poisoning or an uploadable file), which is not guaranteed in default deployments. The flaw only applies to sites running the axiomthemes Prisma theme at version 1.10 or below. |
| Impact | Signals are mixed and lean toward a real-but-not-urgent priority. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) indicates a network-reachable, unauthenticated flaw with full CIA impact, driving the 8.1 High score, but the AC:H (high attack complexity) tempers ease of exploitation, implying specific conditions or non-trivial path manipulation are needed. Counterbalancing this, EPSS is very low at 0.08% (23rd percentile), the CVE is not in CISA KEV, and no public exploit or POC is identified - so exploitation is neither observed nor probabilistically likely in the near term. There is a mild internal tension worth noting: CWE-98 and the C:H/I:H/A:H rating imply potential code execution, while the tags emphasize 'Information Disclosure' / 'LFI', suggesting the confirmed impact is primarily file disclosure with RCE being conditional - verify the achievable impact against the Patchstack advisory. Net: patch when available, but this is a moderate priority rather than an emergency. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted HTTP request to a Prisma theme endpoint that accepts a filename/template parameter, manipulating it to include a sensitive local file (e.g. wp-config.php or a previously staged PHP file) and thereby reading secrets or executing code. The AC:H rating means the attacker likely needs to satisfy specific path or configuration conditions, and no public POC currently exists to lower that bar. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 30, 2026
PHP Local File Inclusion in the axiomthemes Prisma WordPress theme (all versions through 1.10) lets remote unauthenticated attackers coerce the application into including arbitrary local files, exposing sensitive data and potentially achieving code execution via included PHP payloads. Reported by Patchstack, the flaw carries a CVSS 8.1 (high) rating but a low EPSS of 0.08% (23rd percentile), and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. Not listed in CISA KEV.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis - no fixed version is specified in the available data (affected through <= 1.10). Monitor the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Theme/prisma/vulnerability/wordpress-prisma-theme-1-10-local-file-inclusion-vulnerability?_s_id=cve) and the axiomthemes changelog for a release above 1.10 and upgrade as soon as one is published. In the interim, apply a virtual patch / WAF rule (e.g. Patchstack) to block path-traversal and file-inclusion patterns (../, php://, absolute paths, null bytes) on the theme's parameters; harden PHP by setting allow_url_include=Off and open_basedir to restrict include paths to the web root (side effect: may break plugins that rely on external includes); restrict or disable any theme AJAX/template-loading endpoints that accept a file or template parameter (side effect: could disable specific theme features); and if the theme is not essential, switch to a maintained theme. These controls reduce exposure but do not remove the underlying flaw.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability is classified as CWE-98 (Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement, i.e. PHP Remote/Local File Inclusion). It arises when a PHP include()/require() statement is fed a filename derived from attacker-controllable input without sufficient validation or path restriction, allowing the attacker to point the include at unintended local paths. In a WordPress theme context (CPE cpe:2.3:a:axiomthemes:prisma:*:*:*:*:*:wordpress:*:*), such flaws typically stem from theme template-loading logic or AJAX/handler parameters that accept a path or template name and pass it into an include call. Although CWE-98 is the PHP file-inclusion class, the description and Patchstack tags scope the concrete impact to Local File Inclusion (Information Disclosure), meaning local server files can be read and, where PHP content can be staged, executed.

DescriptionCVE.org
Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP Remote File Inclusion') vulnerability in axiomthemes Prisma prisma allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects Prisma: from n/a through <= 1.10.
Executive ViewAI
The axiomthemes Prisma WordPress theme contains an unauthenticated remote file inclusion vulnerability (CVSS 8.1) affecting all versions through 1.10, exposing organizations using this theme to data theft and potential server compromise. While no patch is available from the vendor, the low EPSS score (0.1%) indicates limited current real-world exploitation; however, the severity and accessibility of this flaw require immediate remediation to prevent opportunistic attacks.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Recommended mitigations: (1) Uninstall and replace with an actively maintained WordPress theme; (2) Deploy web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block local file inclusion attempts; (3) Restrict PHP execution in wp-content/uploads and theme directories via .htaccess or web server configuration; (4) Enforce strict file permissions (644 files, 755 directories); (5) Implement file integrity monitoring to detect unauthorized modifications; (6) Apply principle of least privilege to the WordPress service account.

Attack Technique
Local File Inclusion vulnerabilities occur when an application accepts user-controlled input to specify which file should be loaded or executed, typically through functions like PHP's `include()`, `require()`, or `fopen()`.
Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.
