Unauthenticated Local File Inclusion in Getaway < 1.8 versions.
AnalysisAI
Local File Inclusion in the Getaway WordPress theme (versions before 1.8) by Select-Themes allows unauthenticated remote attackers to include arbitrary local PHP files via an unsanitized include/require parameter, leading to disclosure of sensitive files and potential code execution. The CWE-98 classification indicates improper control of filename used in PHP include/require, a pattern that frequently chains into RCE when log files, session files, or uploaded media can be referenced. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not in CISA KEV.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerable component is the Getaway commercial WordPress theme distributed by Select-Themes (CPE cpe:2.3:a:select-themes:getaway). CWE-98 ('Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program') is the classic PHP file-inclusion weakness: a user-controlled value is concatenated into an include(), require(), include_once(), or require_once() call without allowlisting or path normalization. In WordPress themes this typically appears in AJAX handlers, template loaders, or shortcode handlers that resolve a 'page', 'template', or 'file' parameter, and runs inside the WordPress PHP process with full filesystem permissions of the web user.
RemediationAI
Patch available per vendor advisory: upgrade the Getaway WordPress theme to version 1.8 or later as published by Select-Themes and tracked by Patchstack at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/theme/getaway/vulnerability/wordpress-getaway-theme-1-8-local-file-inclusion-vulnerability. If immediate upgrade is not possible, deploy a WAF rule (Patchstack, Wordfence, or equivalent) to block requests containing path traversal sequences such as '../', null bytes, and 'php://' or 'file://' wrappers targeting Getaway theme endpoints, and restrict PHP execution and read access on wp-content/uploads to prevent log-poisoning chains - with the trade-off that overly broad rules can break legitimate AJAX template loading. Also confirm allow_url_include is Off in php.ini (it should be by default) to limit the inclusion to local files only, and audit access logs for prior exploitation since fix release.
