AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Authenticated LFI (PR:L) over the network with non-trivial exploitation (AC:H) clearly discloses files (C:H); integrity/availability only via unconfirmed code-execution chaining, so I:L/A:L rather than high.

Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP Remote File Inclusion') vulnerability in jwsthemes Aqua aqua allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects Aqua: from n/a through <= 5.1.2.
AnalysisAI
Local File Inclusion in the jwsthemes Aqua WordPress theme (versions up to and including 5.1.2) lets an authenticated attacker coerce a PHP include/require statement into loading arbitrary local files, exposing sensitive data and potentially achieving code execution. Reported by Patchstack under CWE-98, the flaw carries CVSS 7.5 but requires low-level privileges and high attack complexity. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires an authenticated session on the target WordPress site (CVSS PR:L - a valid low-privilege account such as subscriber/contributor is needed, not anonymous access) and that the site runs the jwsthemes Aqua theme at version 5.1.2 or earlier. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H yields 7.5 (High) but its own metrics temper the urgency: AC:H signals non-trivial exploitation conditions and PR:L requires an authenticated account, so this is not a trivial pre-auth mass-exploitation target. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who holds a valid low-privileged WordPress account on a site running the Aqua theme submits a crafted request whose filename parameter is manipulated (e.g. with traversal sequences) to point the theme's include/require at wp-config.php, reading database credentials and secret keys. … |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch version is identified at time of analysis - the data specifies impact 'through <= 5.1.2' without naming a fixed build - so monitor the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Theme/aqua/vulnerability/wordpress-aqua-theme-5-1-2-local-file-inclusion-vulnerability) and the jwsthemes vendor channel and upgrade to any release later than 5.1.2 as soon as it is published. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, identify all WordPress installations running jwsthemes Aqua theme versions 5.1.2 or earlier and immediately audit active user accounts, disabling any unnecessary low-privilege accounts and enforcing strong password policies. …
