Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP Remote File Inclusion') vulnerability in Mikado-Themes Curly Core curly-core allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects Curly Core: from n/a through <= 2.1.6.
AnalysisAI
A Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability exists in Mikado-Themes Curly Core plugin for WordPress through version 2.1.6, allowing improper control of filenames in PHP include/require statements. Attackers can exploit this to read arbitrary local files from the affected server, potentially disclosing sensitive configuration files, database credentials, and other confidential data. No CVSS score or EPSS data is currently available, and KEV/active exploitation status is unknown, but the vulnerability has been documented by Patchstack with a public reference URL.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability stems from CWE-98 (Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program), a classic PHP file inclusion flaw. The Curly Core plugin (identified via CPE cpe:2.3:a:mikado-themes:curly_core:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) fails to properly sanitize or validate user-supplied input before passing it to PHP's include() or require() functions. While the description mentions 'PHP Remote File Inclusion,' the tags and ENISA data clarify this is actually a Local File Inclusion (LFI) issue, allowing attackers to include local filesystem paths such as /etc/passwd, WordPress configuration files (wp-config.php), or plugin-specific sensitive files. The vulnerability affects versions from an unspecified baseline through and including version 2.1.6.
RemediationAI
Immediately upgrade the Curly Core plugin to a patched version greater than 2.1.6 (consult the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Plugin/curly-core/vulnerability/wordpress-curly-core-plugin-2-1-6-local-file-inclusion-vulnerability for the exact patched version and timeline). If immediate patching is not possible, temporarily deactivate the Curly Core plugin to prevent exploitation. Additionally, implement file-level access controls to restrict the WordPress web server's read permissions to only necessary files and directories, use a Web Application Firewall (WAF) with rules to detect and block path traversal attempts (../, etc.), monitor server logs for suspicious file access patterns, and consider disabling PHP execution in non-code directories. If available, apply any available security patches from Mikado-Themes; monitor their repository and security channels for release notes.
