Unauthenticated Local File Inclusion in Atomlab <= 2.4.5 versions.
AnalysisAI
Local file inclusion in the Atomlab WordPress theme versions 2.4.5 and earlier allows remote unauthenticated attackers to include arbitrary PHP files on the server, potentially leading to sensitive information disclosure and remote code execution. The flaw is tracked under CWE-98 (improper control of filename for include/require) and carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.1 (high). No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not currently listed in CISA KEV.
Technical ContextAI
Atomlab is a commercial WordPress theme distributed by ThemeMove (CPE cpe:2.3:a:thememove:atomlab). The root cause maps to CWE-98, Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in a PHP program, meaning a user-controlled value reaches a PHP include(), require(), include_once(), or require_once() call without adequate sanitization or allowlisting. In a WordPress theme context, this is typically a template-loading parameter, AJAX action, or shortcode handler that concatenates request input into a filesystem path, allowing attackers to traverse the filesystem (../) or supply alternate file paths to execute server-side PHP from arbitrary locations such as uploaded media, log files, or wrapper streams.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; consult the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/theme/atomlab/vulnerability/wordpress-atomlab-theme-2-4-5-local-file-inclusion-vulnerability for the latest fix status and upgrade to any version newer than 2.4.5 once ThemeMove publishes one. In the interim, deploy a WAF rule (Patchstack, Wordfence, or equivalent) to block path-traversal sequences and PHP wrapper schemes (../, php://, file://, data://) in query parameters and POST bodies destined for the theme's PHP entry points, set PHP allow_url_include=Off and open_basedir to confine includes to the theme and WordPress directories, restrict filesystem write permissions for the web user so uploaded files cannot be turned into executable PHP, and consider temporarily switching to a different theme if the site is high-value while waiting for a vendor fix - each of these workarounds may break legitimate theme features that legitimately load template fragments dynamically.
