Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP Remote File Inclusion') vulnerability in Select-Themes Struktur Core struktur-core allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects Struktur Core: from n/a through <= 2.5.1.
Articles & Coverage 1
AnalysisAI
Local File Inclusion in the Select-Themes Struktur Core WordPress plugin (all versions up to and including 2.5.1) lets an authenticated low-privileged user coerce a PHP include/require statement into loading arbitrary local files, exposing sensitive server-side content such as wp-config.php credentials. Reported by Patchstack and classified under CWE-98 (PHP Remote File Inclusion), the flaw carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 7.5; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV. Depending on server configuration, LFI of attacker-influenced content (e.g., poisoned logs or uploaded files) can escalate to PHP code execution.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability stems from improper control of a filename passed to a PHP include/require statement (CWE-98) within the Struktur Core plugin, a helper/core plugin distributed by Select-Themes for their WordPress themes. When a user-controllable value is concatenated into an include path without allow-list validation, PHP will resolve and execute/read the referenced path. Although CWE-98 is formally 'PHP Remote File Inclusion,' Patchstack's assessment and tags scope the practical impact to Local File Inclusion, meaning the attacker can traverse to and include files already present on the server. The single affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:select-themes:struktur_core:*, confirming the plugin (not the parent theme) as the vulnerable component.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis - the input specifies affected versions up to and including 2.5.1 but names no fixed release, so monitor the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Plugin/struktur-core/vulnerability/wordpress-struktur-core-plugin-2-5-1-local-file-inclusion-vulnerability) and the Select-Themes changelog for a version above 2.5.1 and upgrade as soon as it is published. Until then, apply compensating controls: deploy a WAF or Patchstack virtual patch to block LFI/path-traversal payloads (sequences like ../ and null bytes) targeting the plugin's endpoints; tighten user registration and role assignment so untrusted users cannot obtain the low-privilege account the exploit requires (side effect: may block legitimate self-registration workflows); and harden PHP with open_basedir and disabled allow_url_include/allow_url_fopen to constrain which files an include can reach (side effect: can break plugins that legitimately read files outside the web root). If the plugin is not essential, deactivating and removing it eliminates the exposure entirely.
