MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Command and Control The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | The target must be a WordPress site running the AncoraThemes 'Your Dress' theme at version 1.4.1 or earlier. Per CVSS PR:N/UI:N, exploitation requires no authentication and no user interaction. The description does not name the exact vulnerable parameter, endpoint, or any required non-default configuration, and the AC:H rating implies some additional condition that the available sources do not specify - the precise trigger is not described in the available sources. The primary limiting factor is deployment: only sites with this specific theme installed and active are affected. |
| Impact | This is an unauthenticated, network-reachable PHP Local File Inclusion (CWE-98) in the AncoraThemes 'Your Dress' WordPress theme, rated CVSS 8.1 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). The CVSS vector agrees with the description on network vector and no authentication (PR:N), but assigns AC:H - the available sources do not describe why exploitation complexity is high, so the specific trigger condition is not confirmed. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no verified working exploit code were provided; the only reference is the Patchstack database advisory, not a proof-of-concept. The vuln.today priority is 'this_week' (not act_now/emergency), consistent with a serious but not actively-exploited flaw. Net assessment: a genuinely high-severity vulnerability for sites running this theme (unauthenticated file disclosure, potentially escalating to code execution for PHP inclusion), but real-world mass-exploitation risk is tempered by the theme's limited deployment footprint and the absence of any exploitation signal (no KEV, no EPSS, no confirmed PoC). Prioritize patching on the week-level timeline indicated rather than as an emergency. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote, unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted request to a vulnerable 'Your Dress' theme endpoint that passes attacker-influenced input into a PHP include/require statement, causing the server to include an unintended local file. This can disclose sensitive files (e.g., configuration or credentials) and, if attacker-controlled content can be included, may escalate to PHP code execution. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; the trigger mechanism is not described in the available sources. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 23, 2026
Local file inclusion in the AncoraThemes 'Your Dress' WordPress theme, affecting versions from the initial release through 1.4.1, allows unauthenticated remote attackers to drive PHP include/require statements toward unintended local file paths, exposing sensitive content such as wp-config.php and its database credentials. The published CVSS 3.1 base score is 8.1, while our independent assessment scopes the demonstrated impact to confidentiality loss on sites where this specific theme is installed and active. No CISA KEV entry exists and no public exploit was identified at time of analysis; the only reference is the Patchstack database advisory, so this is a priority item for inventory and cleanup rather than a confirmed active campaign.
RemediationAI
No patched version is identified in the available data: 1.4.1 is recorded as the affected release and no successor is named, so there is no vendor-released patch to apply at this time. The most reliable action is to deactivate and remove the 'Your Dress' theme from any WordPress installation where it is not strictly required, accepting the loss of its presentation and any theme-specific functionality, and to check the Patchstack advisory page for a fixed release before reinstalling. Because the vulnerable parameter and endpoint are not documented, a targeted WAF or virtual-patch rule cannot be scoped with confidence and would need broad blocking of theme-directory PHP requests, which risks breaking legitimate theme assets. If the theme must remain active, treat the installation as potentially disclosing wp-config.php and rotate database credentials and WordPress salts as a precaution, while monitoring the advisory for an updated version.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is classified as CWE-98, Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program, the class that covers PHP local and remote file inclusion. PHP's include/require family resolves a filesystem path at runtime; when a theme builds that path from request-influenced input (a template-part name, an AJAX action parameter, or similar) without normalizing it against a fixed allowlist, an attacker can redirect the include to an arbitrary local file, and PHP will render or error out its contents. The CWE title references remote file inclusion, but the vendor advisory and tags (LFI, Information Disclosure) describe the realized outcome as disclosure of local files rather than execution of remote code, which matches the confidentiality-focused impact in our assessment. CPE coverage is recorded as cpe:2.3:a:ancorathemes:your_dress:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* - a wildcard that spans all releases up to and including 1.4.1. The available sources do not name the vulnerable parameter, hook, or template endpoint, and the published vector's AC:H component implies an additional precondition that is not documented; the precise trigger is not described in the available sources. The primary limiting factor is deployment footprint: only WordPress installations with this AncoraThemes theme present and active expose the code path at all.

DescriptionCVE.org
Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP Remote File Inclusion') vulnerability in AncoraThemes Your Dress your-dress allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects Your Dress: from n/a through 1.4.1.
Executive ViewAI
The AncoraThemes 'Your Dress' WordPress theme (versions up to 1.4.1) contains a high-severity local file inclusion vulnerability that could allow unauthenticated attackers to read sensitive files like wp-config.php, exposing database credentials. Sites using this theme are at risk of data breach and full compromise, requiring immediate inventory and remediation since no vendor patch is currently available.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include removing or disabling the vulnerable theme, deploying WAF rules to detect and block local file inclusion attempts, restricting file permissions on sensitive files such as wp-config.php, and monitoring for unauthorized access or data exfiltration.

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.
