Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP Remote File Inclusion') vulnerability in trippleS Exhibz exhibz allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects Exhibz: from n/a through <= 3.0.9.
AnalysisAI
Local File Inclusion in the Exhibz WordPress theme (version ≤ 3.0.9) allows authenticated attackers with low privileges to include arbitrary local files on the server, potentially leading to sensitive data exposure or-when combined with file upload-remote code execution. Exploitation requires high attack complexity and no user interaction; there is no evidence of active exploitation or public exploit code as of this analysis.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability resides in a PHP include/require statement within the Exhibz theme that fails to properly validate filenames, leading to a Local File Inclusion (LFI) condition (CWE-98). This flaw enables directory traversal to include unintended local files. The CVSS vector confirms network attack vector, high complexity, and low privileges - typical of an LFI that requires a crafted path but may be limited by file location or access restrictions. The affected product is a WordPress theme, meaning exploitation happens within the context of a WordPress site’s PHP backend.
Affected ProductsAI
The vulnerability affects the Exhibz WordPress theme from all versions up to and including 3.0.9. The exact version range is specified as 'n/a through <= 3.0.9'. No CPE string was provided. The reference advisory is available at https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Theme/exhibz/vulnerability/wordpress-exhibz-theme-3-0-9-local-file-inclusion-vulnerability?_s_id=cve.
RemediationAI
No specific patched version is confirmed in the available data; users should update the Exhibz theme to the latest version provided by the vendor (trippleS) and review the Patchstack advisory for any released fix. If updating is not immediately possible, consider restricting access to the theme’s vulnerable file inclusion endpoint (if identifiable) via web application firewall rules, or disable the theme until a fix is available. Monitoring for suspicious file access patterns can serve as a compensating control.
