Unauthenticated Local File Inclusion in Wanium <= 1.9.8 versions.
AnalysisAI
Local File Inclusion in the Wanium WordPress theme (versions up to and including 1.9.8) allows remote unauthenticated attackers to coerce the application into including arbitrary local PHP files, leading to source disclosure and potential remote code execution on the server. The flaw was disclosed via Patchstack and tracked as EUVD-2025-210204; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N) indicates network-reachable exploitation that nevertheless requires some non-trivial conditions to succeed.
Technical ContextAI
Wanium is a commercial WordPress theme published by ThemeLogi (CPE cpe:2.3:a:themelogi:wanium). The root cause is classified as CWE-98 (Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program), commonly known as PHP Remote/Local File Inclusion. This class of bug occurs when user-supplied input is concatenated into a PHP include(), require(), include_once(), or require_once() call without proper sanitization or whitelist enforcement, allowing an attacker to control which file the PHP interpreter loads and executes. In WordPress themes this typically manifests through a template-routing parameter (for example a 'page', 'view', or 'file' query argument handled inside the theme's PHP files) that is passed directly to an include construct.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis based on the supplied references; administrators should monitor the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/theme/wanium/vulnerability/wordpress-wanium-theme-1-9-8-local-file-inclusion-vulnerability) and the ThemeLogi vendor portal for a Wanium release above 1.9.8 and upgrade as soon as it is available. Until a fix ships, consider deploying a virtual patch via Patchstack's WordPress firewall or an equivalent WAF rule that blocks requests containing path-traversal sequences (../, encoded variants, php:// and file:// wrappers) targeting the theme's PHP entry points, with the trade-off that legitimate requests using similar parameters may be blocked; switching the site to a different theme temporarily eliminates the exposed code path but breaks site presentation, and disabling PHP wrappers (allow_url_include=Off, restricting open_basedir to the WordPress root) reduces blast radius from full RCE to information disclosure but does not close the underlying flaw.
