AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 23, 2026

Local File Inclusion in the Tonda Core WordPress plugin (versions 2.1.2 and earlier by Select Themes) allows an authenticated user with only Contributor-level privileges to force the PHP application to include arbitrary local files, exposing sensitive server-side content and potentially escalating to code execution. The flaw was reported by Patchstack and is classified as CWE-98 (PHP file inclusion). No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV; the CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.5 with high attack complexity.

Contributor Local File Inclusion in Tonda Core <= 2.1.2 versions.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

The Tonda Core WordPress plugin (versions 2.1.2 and earlier) contains a local file inclusion vulnerability exploitable by authenticated users with Contributor-level privileges, enabling exposure of sensitive server files and potential code execution. Organizations running this plugin must immediately audit deployment scope and implement access controls, as no vendor patch is currently available.

Recommended Action

Within 24 hours, inventory all WordPress instances using Tonda Core plugin versions 2.1.2 or earlier and document business criticality; determine whether active use justifies retention. Within 7 days, if the plugin cannot be deactivated, restrict Contributor role assignments to trusted personnel only and implement Web Application Firewall rules blocking requests to sensitive files (wp-config.php, .env, /etc/passwd patterns). Within 30 days, monitor Select Themes advisory channels for patch releases; upon availability, test and deploy the patched version immediately, or evaluate and migrate to an alternative plugin if Select Themes does not release a fix.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Disable the plugin if operationally feasible; (2) Restrict Contributor role permissions to minimal necessary users; (3) Deploy WAF rules targeting LFI attack patterns; (4) Enable file integrity monitoring on wp-config.php and other sensitive configuration files; (5) Increase logging and alerting on authenticated file access requests.

Attack Technique

Local File Inclusion vulnerabilities occur when an application accepts user-controlled input to specify which file should be loaded or executed, typically through functions like PHP's `include()`, `require()`, or `fopen()`.

Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.
