AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Network-reachable theme endpoint with no auth or UI (AV:N/PR:N/UI:N); AC:H reflects undisclosed exploitation prerequisites; LFI primarily yields file disclosure (C:H) with limited integrity/availability impact absent confirmed RCE chain.

Unauthenticated Local File Inclusion in Hitek < 1.8.3 versions.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated local file inclusion in the Xtemos Hitek WordPress theme versions prior to 1.8.3 allows remote attackers to include and execute arbitrary local files on the server via crafted requests, mapped to CWE-98 (Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP). With a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.1 and high attack complexity but no authentication required, successful exploitation can lead to source code disclosure, sensitive configuration exposure, and potential remote code execution. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Target must be a WordPress site running the Xtemos Hitek theme at any version below 1.8.3 with the vulnerable file-inclusion endpoint reachable over HTTP/HTTPS; no authentication, user interaction, or special privileges are required (PR:N/UI:N). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.1 (High) reflects a network-exploitable, unauthenticated vulnerability (AV:N/PR:N/UI:N) with high impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability, though tempered by high attack complexity (AC:H), suggesting non-trivial conditions or timing must be met for reliable exploitation. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An unauthenticated remote attacker sends a crafted HTTP request to a Hitek theme endpoint that processes a file path parameter, manipulating it with directory traversal sequences to include sensitive files such as wp-config.php to extract database credentials and authentication keys. The attacker may then escalate by including PHP session files or log files containing attacker-controlled content (log poisoning) to achieve remote code execution under the web server user context. … |
| Remediation | Patch available per vendor advisory - upgrade the Hitek theme to version 1.8.3 or later via the WordPress admin theme updater or by obtaining the latest release from the Xtemos/Themeforest distribution channel, as documented at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/theme/xts-hitek/vulnerability/wordpress-hitek-theme-1-8-3-local-file-inclusion-vulnerability. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Identify all WordPress installations using the Hitek theme and temporarily deactivate or remove the theme; enable emergency monitoring for exploitation attempts via file access logs. …
