Exploitation Conditions

The advisory does not name the specific vulnerable parameter, endpoint, or theme feature, so the exact precondition is not disclosed in available data - this gap matters because the CVSS AC:H rating indicates exploitation is NOT trivial and depends on an undisclosed condition (likely a specific request parameter reaching an include/require call, or a particular theme function/page being in use). Limiting factors: the target must be running the Fuelthemes The Voux theme at version 6.9.5 or earlier with the vulnerable code path reachable; AC:H implies a non-default or timing/path-dependent condition rather than a trivially repeatable request. No authentication is required (PR:N) and no user interaction (UI:N). Weaponization into full RCE further depends on the attacker being able to place or reference PHP-parseable content locally (e.g., via uploads, session files, or log poisoning).

Impact

This is a genuine but second-tier priority. The CVSS vector (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H = 8.1 High) describes a network-reachable, unauthenticated flaw (PR:N) with full CIA impact, which on its face is severe. However, AC:H explicitly signals that exploitation depends on conditions not fully under the attacker's control, which tempers urgency. Critically, there is NO EPSS score provided, the vulnerability is NOT in CISA KEV, and no POC is referenced - so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation. The sole source is a single Patchstack database advisory. CWE-98 (PHP file inclusion) is often weaponizable into RCE via log poisoning or wrapper abuse, which justifies the I:H/A:H rating, but the description only explicitly claims 'PHP Local File Inclusion,' which most directly supports confidentiality impact - verify integrity/availability claims with the vendor. Net: a legitimately high-severity bug in a WordPress theme, but the low real-world deployment footprint and absence of exploitation signals make it a patch-in-normal-cycle item rather than an emergency.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated remote attacker sends a crafted request to a vulnerable endpoint of a WordPress site running The Voux theme (≤6.9.5), manipulating a filename parameter that is passed into a PHP include/require statement. This allows reading local files (e.g., wp-config.php) and, if local PHP content such as uploaded media or logs can be referenced, potentially executing arbitrary PHP. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, and the AC:H rating indicates some non-trivial precondition must be met.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 09, 2026

Local file inclusion in the Fuelthemes The Voux WordPress theme through version 6.9.5 lets unauthenticated remote attackers induce the server to include attacker-influenced local files - with possible escalation to PHP code execution if parseable content can be placed or referenced on the host - by reaching an undisclosed include/require code path (CVSS 3.1: 8.1, AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N). The high attack-complexity value indicates exploitation is not trivial and depends on a condition the Patchstack advisory does not disclose (likely a specific request parameter feeding a theme include/require call, or a particular theme function or page being active). No public exploit code and no confirmed active exploitation were identified at time of analysis, so this should be treated as a genuine but second-tier priority for sites running The Voux 6.9.5 or earlier.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch was identified at time of analysis, and the supplied advisory does not name a fixed version for The Voux, so there is no confirmed upgrade target to cite; monitor the Patchstack entry (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/theme/thevoux-wp/vulnerability/wordpress-the-voux-theme-6-9-5-local-file-inclusion-vulnerability) and Fuelthemes' release channels for a patched theme version before restoring normal operation. Until a fix ships, the most effective compensating control is to deactivate and, where possible, remove the The Voux theme from the webroot - WordPress falls back to a default theme, so the trade-off is loss of the site's current design and any theme-specific templates or functionality, and simply deactivating while leaving the files on disk may not fully close the exposure if the vulnerable file remains directly reachable by URL. Restrict direct HTTP access to the theme's PHP files via web-server rules (deny requests to /wp-content/themes/thevoux-wp/*.php unless they are the whitelisted WordPress entry points), accepting that some theme features loaded directly by path may break. Deploy WAF or reverse-proxy rules that block path-traversal and PHP wrapper patterns in request parameters (for example sequences containing ../, php://filter, php://input, or absolute filesystem paths), understanding that such signatures can generate false positives and are bypassable with encoding tricks, so they are a speed bump, not a fix. Because escalation to code execution depends on locally stored parseable content, harden the surrounding environment: disable file uploads and any theme-side file-writing or logging features that an attacker could seed, keep allow_url_include and allow_url_fopen disabled, run PHP with open_basedir limited to the WordPress tree, and ensure the web user cannot read sensitive files such as wp-config.php or system logs. Finally, review the site for indicators of exploitation - unusual include-related error messages, unexpected PHP files under wp-content/uploads, or anomalous outbound requests - and rotate secrets if compromise is suspected.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The flaw is an instance of CWE-98, 'Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program,' the root-cause class behind PHP file-inclusion bugs: a filename or path component reaches a PHP include/require (or equivalent) sink without adequate validation, so attacker-influenced input partly or wholly determines which file the interpreter loads. Although the structured title references 'PHP Remote File Inclusion,' the advisory and CWE mapping describe PHP Local File Inclusion, and the practical distinction matters - remote inclusion of an attacker-hosted URL normally requires allow_url_include to be enabled, which is off by default in modern PHP, whereas local inclusion only requires that the attacker can make the server read a file already present on the filesystem (for example theme/plugin files, uploaded content, session files, or log files). The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:fuelthemes:the_voux:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* identifies Fuelthemes' The Voux WordPress theme as the affected component; because themes execute in the same PHP process as WordPress core and plugins, any file disclosure through this sink inherits the web server's filesystem read privileges. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) confirms the vulnerability is network-reachable and unauthenticated with no user interaction, but the AC:H rating - combined with the advisory's silence on the vulnerable parameter, endpoint, and feature - signals that a non-default, path-dependent, or otherwise specific condition must be satisfied before a successful include occurs; weaponization into full remote code execution would additionally depend on the attacker being able to place or reference PHP-parseable content locally.

DescriptionCVE.org

Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP Remote File Inclusion') vulnerability in Fuelthemes The Voux thevoux-wp allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects The Voux: from n/a through 6.9.5.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Any website running the Fuelthemes The Voux WordPress theme at version 6.9.5 or earlier carries an unauthenticated file-inclusion weakness that could escalate to full server-side code execution, and no vendor patch is currently available. Because this theme is typically used for public-facing marketing and content sites, the exposure sits directly on the organization's brand and customer-facing web presence rather than on an internal system. Exploitation is not trivial, requires an undisclosed precondition, and there is no public exploit code or confirmed active exploitation at time of analysis, making this a genuine but second-tier priority behind any confirmed-exploited issues already in the queue.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: deploy WAF/reverse-proxy virtual patching rules blocking path traversal and PHP stream-wrapper payloads in all request parameters; remove or delete the theme files entirely if The Voux is not actively in use; otherwise restrict PHP execution in uploads and cache paths, enforce open_basedir, disable allow_url_include, run PHP under a least-privilege account, and enable file-integrity monitoring and alerting on include/require anomalies; escalate to Fuelthemes for a patched release timeline and plan migration to a supported theme.

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.
