Unauthenticated Local File Inclusion in Dom <= 1.24 versions.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated local file inclusion in the ThemeREX 'Dom' WordPress theme through version 1.24 allows remote attackers to coerce the PHP application into including arbitrary local files, leading to sensitive information disclosure and potential code execution. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the CVSS 8.1 rating reflects high impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability if a vulnerable include path is reached. The flaw is tracked by Patchstack and ENISA (EUVD-2025-210210) and affects all Dom theme versions up to and including 1.24.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability is rooted in CWE-98 (Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program), commonly called PHP Remote/Local File Inclusion. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:themerex:dom:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* identifies the affected component as the ThemeREX-developed 'Dom' commercial WordPress theme. In CWE-98 patterns, user-supplied input is passed - directly or after insufficient sanitisation - into PHP include/require statements, allowing the attacker to control which file is loaded by the interpreter. On a WordPress install this typically means traversal to read configuration files such as wp-config.php (exposing database credentials and auth keys) or, where log poisoning or uploaded content is reachable, escalation to arbitrary PHP execution within the web server context.
RemediationAI
Upstream fix availability is not independently confirmed from the supplied data; the Patchstack advisory should be consulted at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/theme/dom/vulnerability/wordpress-dom-theme-1-24-local-file-inclusion-vulnerability for any vendor-released patched version above 1.24, and the theme should be upgraded to that version as the primary remediation. Until a confirmed patched build is installed, deactivate the Dom theme and switch to a supported theme (this is disruptive and changes the site's appearance), or place a WAF rule (Patchstack, Wordfence, or ModSecurity) in front of WordPress to block requests containing path-traversal sequences (../, encoded variants) and suspicious file parameters targeting theme PHP entry points - note WAF rules can produce false positives on legitimate file-handling plugins. As a defence-in-depth measure, set PHP open_basedir to restrict include paths to the WordPress webroot and ensure allow_url_include is Off so the bug cannot escalate to remote inclusion.
