Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires an authenticated session at a low privilege level (CVSS PR:L) on a WordPress site running the Edge-Themes Overworld theme at version ≤ 1.5, plus satisfaction of the non-trivial conditions implied by AC:H (the specific request/parameter that reaches the unsafe include must be crafted correctly and any state prerequisites met). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H = 7.5 High) signals a network-reachable, low-privilege attack with no user interaction but high attack complexity, and claims full CIA impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who has registered or been granted a low-privilege WordPress account on a site running Overworld ≤ 1.5 sends a crafted request to the vulnerable theme functionality, supplying a manipulated filename/path parameter that the theme passes into a PHP include/require. The server reads back a sensitive local file such as wp-config.php (exposing database credentials and secret keys), and if the attacker can first plant PHP into a locally accessible file (e.g. … |
