Exploitation Conditions

Target site must run the Food Drop WordPress theme at version ≤1.3 with the vulnerable PHP include path reachable over HTTP(S); no authentication, no user interaction, and no special privileges are required (PR:N/UI:N). Exploitation is limited by AC:H, indicating the attacker must satisfy a non-trivial condition such as identifying the correct theme parameter, traversal depth, and file extension handling, and full RCE (versus pure file read) additionally depends on PHP being configured with allow_url_include=On or on the attacker controlling a local file whose contents can be included as PHP.

Impact

Signals are mixed and warrant cautious prioritization. The CVSS 3.1 vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H yields 8.1 (High), driven by network reach, no authentication, no user interaction, and full CIA impact - consistent with LFI that can lead to credential disclosure or code execution. AC:H tempers this, implying some non-trivial condition (e.g. a specific parameter or context) must be met. No EPSS score, KEV listing, SSVC decision, or public POC was provided, so there is no current evidence of active exploitation or automatable mass scanning. Net assessment: this is a real, prioritizable issue for any site running Food Drop ≤1.3, but it is not currently a confirmed exploitation event; treat as a high-priority patch item rather than an emergency unless telemetry indicates otherwise.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A remote, unauthenticated attacker discovers a Food Drop theme endpoint that accepts a file/template parameter and submits a crafted value containing path traversal (e.g. ../../../../wp-config.php%00 or a similar payload tailored to the vulnerable include) to read WordPress database credentials, then pivots to the database or uploads a PHP payload that is later included to gain code execution. AC:H reflects that the attacker may need to identify the specific vulnerable parameter and a working traversal depth, and no public POC is currently documented.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jun 16, 2026

Unauthenticated local file inclusion in the Food Drop WordPress theme versions 1.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to read arbitrary server files or potentially achieve PHP code execution by abusing an improperly controlled include/require path (CWE-98). The flaw was disclosed by Patchstack and tracked as EUVD-2025-210202; no public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis, but the network-reachable, no-auth attack surface makes it a meaningful risk for any site running this theme.

RemediationAI

Upstream fix available per the Patchstack advisory; a released patched version is not independently confirmed from the provided data, so administrators should upgrade Food Drop to the latest vendor release above 1.3 once published and verify the version on disk after upgrade - consult https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/theme/food-drop/vulnerability/wordpress-food-drop-theme-1-3-local-file-inclusion-vulnerability for the authoritative fix reference. Until a fixed build is applied, compensating controls include deactivating and removing the Food Drop theme and switching to an unaffected theme (side effect: site appearance changes), placing a WAF rule in front of WordPress that blocks path-traversal sequences (../, encoded variants, php://, file://) and known-bad parameter values on theme endpoints (side effect: may break legitimate template selection in edge cases), setting PHP's allow_url_include=Off and tightening open_basedir to the WordPress document root (side effect: may impact plugins that rely on remote includes), and restricting filesystem read permissions on sensitive files like wp-config.php to the web user only.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The affected component is the Food Drop WordPress theme (CPE cpe:2.3:a:themerex:food_drop) published by ThemeRex, a PHP-based theme typically deployed on the front-end of WordPress sites. CWE-98 (Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program - 'PHP Remote File Inclusion') indicates the theme passes user-controlled input into a PHP include(), require(), include_once() or require_once() call without proper sanitization or allow-listing. In WordPress themes this typically appears as a parameter that selects a template, view, or partial file; if the value is not constrained to a known set, an attacker can traverse the filesystem (../) or, with allow_url_include enabled, reference external resources, leading to disclosure of files such as wp-config.php or execution of attacker-controlled PHP.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

The Food Drop WordPress theme (versions 1.3 and earlier) contains a remote file inclusion vulnerability (CVE-2025-69125, CVSS 8.1) exploitable without authentication, allowing attackers to read sensitive server files or achieve code execution on affected sites. No vendor patch is currently available, creating an unmitigated risk window for any organization deploying this theme. Immediate remediation is essential to prevent data exposure and infrastructure compromise.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Immediately deactivate and remove the vulnerable theme from production; (2) Deploy Web Application Firewall rules to block path traversal patterns and suspicious PHP include/require requests; (3) Configure strict file system permissions limiting PHP process access to application directories only; (4) Enable detailed request logging and alerting for exploitation attempts; (5) Migrate affected sites to an actively maintained WordPress theme with current security patches.

Attack Technique

Local File Inclusion vulnerabilities occur when an application accepts user-controlled input to specify which file should be loaded or executed, typically through functions like PHP's `include()`, `require()`, or `fopen()`.

Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.
