Unauthenticated Local File Inclusion in Uppercase < 1.2.2 versions.
AnalysisAI
Local File Inclusion in the CodeSupply Co. 'Uppercase' WordPress theme versions prior to 1.2.2 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to include and disclose arbitrary local files from the web server, potentially leading to source code disclosure, credential theft, or remote code execution where log/upload poisoning is feasible. The flaw is tagged as LFI/PHP/Information Disclosure by Patchstack and carries a CVSS 8.1 (High) rating; no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Technical ContextAI
The affected component is the 'Uppercase' commercial WordPress theme published by CodeSupply Co. (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:codesupplyco:uppercase:*). The weakness is classified as CWE-98 (Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program, a.k.a. PHP Remote File Inclusion). In practice this means a PHP include()/require() call in the theme accepts attacker-controlled input - typically a request parameter referencing a template, page, or view - without sufficient allow-listing or path normalization, so traversal sequences or arbitrary file paths resolve to files outside the intended template directory. Because WordPress themes execute in the same PHP context as core, any LFI primitive can read files such as wp-config.php (database credentials, auth keys), /etc/passwd, or session/log files.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade the Uppercase theme to version 1.2.2 or later via the WordPress admin Themes updater or by replacing the theme directory with the patched release; advisory details are at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/theme/uppercase/vulnerability/wordpress-uppercase-theme-1-2-2-local-file-inclusion-vulnerability. If immediate patching is not possible, deactivate and switch off the Uppercase theme (side effect: site appearance reverts to the fallback theme), or place a WAF/ModSecurity rule in front of WordPress that blocks requests containing path-traversal sequences (../, %2e%2e, null bytes) and absolute paths in query parameters bound for theme PHP files (side effect: may break legitimate theme features that pass file or template names in the URL). Additionally restrict PHP open_basedir to the WordPress document root to contain file reads, and rotate wp-config.php secrets (AUTH_KEY, DB password) if exposure is suspected.
