Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP Remote File Inclusion') vulnerability in fuelthemes Revolution revolution.This issue affects Revolution: from n/a through < 2.5.8.
AnalysisAI
Local file inclusion in Revolution theme versions before 2.5.8 allows authenticated attackers with low privileges to include and execute arbitrary PHP files on the server via manipulated file paths. The vulnerability exploits improper validation of file inclusion parameters, enabling remote code execution when combined with file upload or log poisoning. EPSS score of 0.05% suggests low probability of mass exploitation, and no public POC or active exploitation (non-KEV) is confirmed at time of analysis.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability is a PHP Remote File Inclusion (RFI) / Local File Inclusion (LFI) flaw classified under CWE-98. The Revolution WordPress theme fails to properly sanitize or validate user-controlled input used in PHP include/require statements. Attackers can manipulate file path parameters to include arbitrary local files (LFI) or potentially remote files if PHP allow_url_include is enabled (RFI). Common exploitation involves path traversal sequences (../../../) to access sensitive files like wp-config.php or arbitrary code execution by including attacker-controlled files such as uploaded media, log files poisoned with PHP code, or PHP session files. The vulnerability requires authentication (PR:L in CVSS vector), limiting the attack surface to users with WordPress accounts, but the network-accessible attack vector (AV:N) means any authenticated user can exploit this remotely.
Affected ProductsAI
Revolution WordPress theme by fuelthemes, versions prior to 2.5.8. The vulnerability affects all installations running versions before the patched release. According to Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Theme/revolution/vulnerability/wordpress-revolution-theme-2-5-8-local-file-inclusion-vulnerability, the theme is distributed through commercial channels for WordPress content management systems. Exact version range begins from initial release (n/a) through all versions preceding the fixed release 2.5.8.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Revolution theme to version 2.5.8 or later immediately. The patch is available through the theme's commercial distribution channel, with details documented in the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Theme/revolution/vulnerability/wordpress-revolution-theme-2-5-8-local-file-inclusion-vulnerability. If immediate patching is not feasible, implement compensating controls: disable user registration in WordPress (Settings > General > Membership) to prevent creation of low-privilege accounts that could exploit this flaw, though this breaks functionality for sites requiring subscriber or contributor access. Review and remove unnecessary user accounts, especially those with Subscriber or Contributor roles. Enable Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to block path traversal patterns in HTTP requests (sequences like ../, ..\ , %2e%2e%2f), though sophisticated attackers may bypass generic filters. Disable PHP allow_url_include directive in php.ini to prevent remote file inclusion escalation, though local file inclusion remains possible. Monitor web server access logs and PHP error logs for suspicious file path patterns or repeated 404/403 errors indicating exploitation attempts. Note that WAF and configuration changes provide only partial mitigation and may generate false positives blocking legitimate theme functionality.
