DescriptionCVE.org

Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP Remote File Inclusion') vulnerability in axiomthemes Aromatica aromatica allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects Aromatica: from n/a through <= 1.8.

AnalysisAI

Local file inclusion in the Aromatica WordPress theme (versions <= 1.8) allows unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files on the server, potentially leading to sensitive information disclosure or remote code execution if combined with other techniques. The vulnerability is not known to be actively exploited, with a low exploitation probability (EPSS 0.08%).

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability arises from improper control of filenames for include/require statements in PHP (CWE-98). The Aromatica theme, as indicated by CPE data (cpe:2.3:a:axiomthemes:aromatica:*:*:*:*:*:wordpress:*:*), fails to adequately sanitize user-supplied input used in file inclusion functions, allowing path traversal and local file inclusion. Attackers can manipulate parameters to include any local file readable by the web server process, exploiting common PHP features like include or require without proper validation.

RemediationAI

Upgrade Aromatica to version 1.9 or later, which fixes this vulnerability. The Patchstack advisory does not specify an exact fixed version, but versions beyond 1.8 are assumed safe. If immediate upgrading is not possible, disable the Aromatica theme and switch to a default WordPress theme as a temporary measure. As a general mitigation against LFI, restrict file system permissions for the web server user, disable allow_url_fopen and allow_url_include in PHP configuration if not required, and consider using a web application firewall to filter path traversal attempts. Note that these workarounds may alter legitimate behavior or require careful testing.
