Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP Remote File Inclusion') vulnerability in axiomthemes Katelyn katelyn allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects Katelyn: from n/a through <= 1.0.10.
AnalysisAI
Local file inclusion in axiomthemes Katelyn WordPress theme versions through 1.0.10 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to read arbitrary local files, potentially exposing sensitive data or leading to code execution. Exploitation does not require authentication but has high attack complexity, and no public exploit or active exploitation has been identified.
Technical ContextAI
The root cause is improper control of filenames passed to PHP include/require statements (CWE-98) within the Katelyn WordPress theme. User-supplied input used to construct file paths is inadequately sanitized, enabling path traversal and local file inclusion. The CPE string 'cpe:2.3:a:axiomthemes:katelyn:*:*:*:*:*:wordpress:*:*' confirms the product is a WordPress theme, and the vulnerability is reachable over the network.
RemediationAI
Update the Katelyn theme to a version later than 1.0.10 once a patched release is made available by the vendor. If no fixed version exists, disable the theme until a patch is issued. No specific workarounds are documented; as a general precaution, restrict file permissions on the WordPress installation to limit the impact of file reads, but this does not address the underlying vulnerability.
