DescriptionCVE.org

Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP Remote File Inclusion') vulnerability in AncoraThemes Greenville greenville allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects Greenville: from n/a through <= 1.3.2.

AnalysisAI

AncoraThemes Greenville WordPress theme versions up to and including 1.3.2 contain a Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability resulting from improper control of filenames in PHP include/require statements (CWE-98). An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to read arbitrary files from the affected server, leading to information disclosure of sensitive configuration files, source code, and other locally stored data. No CVSS score, EPSS probability, or KEV status have been assigned at this time, though the vulnerability has been formally documented by Patchstack and assigned an ENISA EUVD ID.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability stems from a failure to properly validate and sanitize user-supplied input before using it in PHP's include() or require() statements. CWE-98 (Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program) describes the root cause: when user-controlled data is passed directly to file inclusion functions without validation, attackers can manipulate the filename parameter to point to arbitrary files on the filesystem. In the Greenville theme (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:ancorathemes:greenville:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*), this likely occurs in a template file or plugin hook where theme parameters are processed without proper input sanitization. Unlike Remote File Inclusion (RFI), which allows loading remote URLs, this LFI vulnerability is restricted to local filesystem access but remains high-impact due to the typical exposure of configuration files (wp-config.php), database credentials, and application logic in WordPress environments.

RemediationAI

Immediately upgrade the Greenville theme to a patched version released by AncoraThemes after version 1.3.2. Check the official AncoraThemes website or the WordPress.org theme repository for the latest available version and security patch details. Until an upgrade is available, website administrators should temporarily disable the Greenville theme, revert to a different theme, or restrict direct access to theme files via .htaccess rules (e.g., blocking access to theme parameter URLs). Additionally, review WordPress access logs for evidence of exploitation attempts (look for suspicious parameter values in requests to theme files), restrict file permissions to ensure theme files are readable only by the web server process, and consider implementing a Web Application Firewall (WAF) rule to filter requests containing common LFI payloads such as '../' sequences and null bytes.
