AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Network-reachable and unauthenticated (AV:N/PR:N/UI:N); AC:H because exploitation needs a specific parameter and likely filter bypass; C:H for wp-config.php disclosure, I/A:L since RCE escalation depends on extra server conditions.

Unauthenticated Local File Inclusion in Thegov Core < 2.0.23 versions.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated Local File Inclusion in the Thegov Core WordPress plugin (versions prior to 2.0.23) allows remote attackers to coerce the application into including arbitrary files via a flaw classified as CWE-98 (PHP File Inclusion). Because the plugin powers the Thegov WordPress theme commonly used by government and political sites, successful exploitation can disclose sensitive configuration files such as wp-config.php and, depending on server state, escalate to PHP code execution. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires that the target WordPress site has the Thegov Core plugin installed and active at a version below 2.0.23, and that the vulnerable include sink is reachable over HTTP(S) without authentication. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The vendor CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, 8.1 High) signals network-reachable, unauthenticated exploitation with full CIA impact, but with elevated attack complexity - likely because exploitation requires knowing valid parameter names or chaining LFI to a writable log or session file to reach code execution. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker fingerprints a WordPress site running the Thegov theme, identifies the vulnerable Thegov Core endpoint, and sends an HTTP request supplying a traversal payload (e.g., ../../../../wp-config.php) to the include parameter to retrieve database credentials and the WordPress AUTH_KEYs. With those secrets the attacker forges admin session cookies or pivots to the database to plant a malicious admin user, then optionally chains the LFI with log-file poisoning (writing PHP into the access log via a crafted User-Agent and then including that log path) to achieve unauthenticated RCE. |
| Remediation | Upgrade the Thegov Core plugin to version 2.0.23 or later - this is the vendor-released patch referenced by the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/thegov-core/vulnerability/wordpress-thegov-core-plugin-2-0-23-local-file-inclusion-vulnerability). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
