Unauthenticated Local File Inclusion in MaxiNet <= 1.2.10 versions.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated local file inclusion in the ThemeREX MaxiNet WordPress theme through version 1.2.10 allows remote attackers to coerce the PHP application into including arbitrary local files, exposing sensitive configuration data such as wp-config.php and potentially enabling code execution if log poisoning or uploaded content can be reached. The flaw was disclosed via Patchstack and tracked as EUVD-2025-210195; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and no CISA KEV listing exists.
Technical ContextAI
MaxiNet is a commercial WordPress theme published by ThemeREX (CPE cpe:2.3:a:themerex:maxinet). The weakness maps to CWE-98 (Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP, aka 'PHP Remote File Inclusion'), which occurs when user-controllable input is passed into PHP include/require constructs without sanitization or allow-listing. In WordPress themes this typically manifests in template-loading helpers, AJAX endpoints, or shortcode handlers that accept a 'file', 'template', 'page', or similar parameter and concatenate it into an include path, allowing path traversal (../) or absolute-path references to read or execute server-side files within PHP's open_basedir scope.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; site owners should consult the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/theme/maxinet/vulnerability/wordpress-maxinet-theme-1-2-10-local-file-inclusion-vulnerability and the ThemeREX changelog for any version newer than 1.2.10 and upgrade as soon as one is published. As compensating controls until a patched release is available, deploy a WAF rule (Patchstack/Wordfence virtual patch) to block path-traversal sequences and absolute paths in query parameters reaching the theme's PHP endpoints, restrict PHP open_basedir to the WordPress installation directory to limit which files can be included, disable execution of PHP in wp-content/uploads to blunt log-poisoning escalation, and as a last resort switch the active theme away from MaxiNet - each control has trade-offs: WAF rules can be bypassed with encoding tricks, open_basedir can break plugins that legitimately read shared paths, and disabling PHP in uploads can break image-processing plugins.
