Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP Remote File Inclusion') vulnerability in jwsthemes Feedy feedy allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects Feedy: from n/a through < 2.1.5.
AnalysisAI
A PHP Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability exists in jwsthemes Feedy theme versions prior to 2.1.5, stemming from improper control of filenames in PHP include/require statements. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files from the affected server, potentially exposing sensitive configuration files, database credentials, and other confidential information. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-98 (Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement) and was reported by Patchstack, affecting WordPress installations using the vulnerable Feedy theme.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability exists in the Feedy WordPress theme (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:jwsthemes:feedy:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) and represents a classic PHP file inclusion flaw categorized under CWE-98. The root cause involves insufficient input validation and sanitization of user-supplied parameters that are passed directly to PHP include() or require() statements without proper filtering. This allows attackers to manipulate file path parameters to include arbitrary local files on the server, such as /etc/passwd, wp-config.php, or other sensitive files. Unlike Remote File Inclusion (RFI), LFI restricts attacks to files accessible on the same server, but the impact remains severe for information disclosure and potential credential theft.
RemediationAI
Immediately upgrade the Feedy theme to version 2.1.5 or later, which includes the security patch for this LFI vulnerability. The upgrade can typically be performed through the WordPress theme management interface or directly via the jwsthemes vendor dashboard. For organizations unable to patch immediately, implement the following interim controls: restrict access to the WordPress installation via Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules that block suspicious file path traversal patterns (../, encoded variants), disable PHP script execution in upload directories via .htaccess or web server configuration, and implement strict input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied parameters passed to file inclusion functions. Monitor web server logs for exploitation attempts targeting file inclusion parameters.
