Unauthenticated Local File Inclusion in Imba <= 1.5.0 versions.
AnalysisAI
Local File Inclusion in the Imba WordPress theme versions 1.5.0 and earlier allows remote unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files from the underlying server. The flaw is rooted in PHP file-inclusion handling (CWE-98) and has no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but its unauthenticated network reachability makes it a notable risk for sites still running the affected ThemeREX product.
Technical ContextAI
Imba is a commercial WordPress theme distributed by ThemeREX (CPE cpe:2.3:a:themerex:imba). The vulnerability falls under CWE-98 (Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program), meaning a user-controllable value is passed into a PHP include/require call without adequate validation, allowing an attacker to coerce the application into loading attacker-chosen files. In WordPress themes this typically appears in custom AJAX handlers, template loaders, or 'view'/'page' parameters that resolve to filesystem paths.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis - the Patchstack advisory describes the issue against versions <= 1.5.0 without naming a fixed release, so administrators should monitor the ThemeREX vendor portal and the Patchstack entry (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/theme/imba/vulnerability/wordpress-imba-theme-1-5-0-local-file-inclusion-vulnerability) for an updated theme version and upgrade as soon as one is published. Until a fix is available, deploy a virtual patch via the Patchstack mitigation feed or a WAF rule that blocks requests containing path-traversal sequences (../, encoded variants, php://, file://) targeting theme endpoints, accepting that overly broad rules can break legitimate template parameters. As a stronger compensating control, restrict access to the affected theme's PHP entry points via webserver rules or temporarily switch to a different theme, recognising that this will alter site appearance and may affect dependent functionality.
