AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Authenticated access needed (PR:L) and a valid traversal path plus inclusion preconditions raise complexity (AC:H); impact is confidentiality-dominant file disclosure (C:H) with only conditional integrity/availability effect (I:L/A:L).

Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP Remote File Inclusion') vulnerability in themelexus Kitchor kitchor allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects Kitchor: from n/a through <= 1.4.3.
AnalysisAI
Local File Inclusion in the Kitchor WordPress theme by themelexus (versions up to and including 1.4.3) allows an authenticated attacker to coerce a PHP include/require statement into loading arbitrary local files from the server. Because the theme fails to constrain the filename passed to an include path (CWE-98), an attacker with at least low-level authenticated access can read sensitive files such as wp-config.php and, under the right conditions, escalate to PHP code execution via log poisoning or inclusion of attacker-influenced content. …

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 - at least a low-privilege account such as subscriber/contributor), plus the ability to reach the specific Kitchor theme feature that passes a filename into a PHP include/require statement. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The vendor-supplied 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) and models a network-reachable but high-complexity, low-privilege attack with full CIA impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who holds a low-privilege authenticated account (for example a subscriber or contributor) on a WordPress site running Kitchor <= 1.4.3 sends a crafted request to a vulnerable theme endpoint, supplying a manipulated filename parameter with directory-traversal sequences to include a sensitive local file such as wp-config.php and read database credentials. With additional effort - matching the high attack complexity - the attacker could poison a log or upload-accessible file and include it to achieve PHP code execution. … |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch version is identified in the available data - the advisory only bounds the vulnerable range at 1.4.3 and does not name a fixed release, so administrators should consult the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Theme/kitchor/vulnerability/wordpress-kitchor-theme-1-4-3-local-file-inclusion-vulnerability?_s_id=cve) and the themelexus vendor page for an update newer than 1.4.3 and upgrade as soon as one is confirmed. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: disable the Kitchor theme on all production WordPress sites or verify you run an unaffected version; audit access logs for suspicious include requests targeting wp-config.php or parent directory traversals. …
