Unauthenticated Local File Inclusion in Choreo <= 1.6 versions.
AnalysisAI
Local File Inclusion in the Choreo WordPress theme (versions through 1.6) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to include and read arbitrary local files from the server, with potential for further escalation to code execution depending on writable file content. The flaw was disclosed by Patchstack and is tracked as EUVD-2025-210179; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.1 reflects high impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Technical ContextAI
Choreo is a commercial WordPress theme distributed by ThemeREX (CPE cpe:2.3:a:themerex:choreo). The vulnerability is classified as CWE-98 (Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program - 'PHP Remote File Inclusion'), meaning a user-controlled value reaches a PHP include/require statement without sufficient sanitization or allow-listing. In WordPress themes, this pattern commonly appears in AJAX handlers, shortcode renderers, or template-loader helpers that take a 'template', 'view', or 'file' parameter and pass it directly to include. Because PHP's include resolves paths relative to the executing script and honors traversal sequences, an attacker can pivot to arbitrary local files such as wp-config.php, /etc/passwd, or session files - and on installations where allow_url_include is enabled, escalate to remote inclusion and direct RCE.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis from the provided references; site owners should monitor the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/theme/choreo/vulnerability/wordpress-choreo-theme-1-6-local-file-inclusion-vulnerability) and the ThemeREX/ThemeForest update channel for a Choreo release above 1.6 and upgrade as soon as it is published. In the interim, deploy a WAF rule (Patchstack, Wordfence, or equivalent) that blocks traversal sequences (../, %2e%2e, php://, file://) on Choreo theme endpoints, set PHP allow_url_include=Off and open_basedir to the WordPress document root to neutralize remote-file-include escalation and restrict local reads, and consider temporarily switching to a different theme on internet-exposed sites if the workaround cannot be applied - accepting the trade-off of layout/design loss until a patched version ships.
