Unauthenticated Local File Inclusion in Promo <= 1.3.0 versions.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated local file inclusion in the Promo WordPress theme through version 1.3.0 allows remote attackers to coerce the application into including arbitrary PHP files from the server, potentially leading to source code disclosure, sensitive file reads, or remote code execution where attacker-controlled files are reachable. The vulnerability is reported by Patchstack and affects axiomthemes' Promo theme; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS data was not provided. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the target WordPress site to have the AxiomThemes Promo theme installed and active at version 1.3.0 or earlier, with the vulnerable include path reachable over HTTP(S). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | Signals are mixed. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted HTTP request to a vulnerable Promo theme endpoint with a path-traversal payload in the susceptible parameter, causing the theme's PHP code to include a local file such as wp-config.php (disclosing database credentials and auth keys) or an uploaded PHP file (yielding remote code execution under the web server user). No public POC has been identified at the time of analysis, but the Patchstack advisory provides enough context for skilled actors to derive one, and the AC:H rating suggests the working exploit requires correct parameter naming or specific request conditions rather than a one-shot URL. |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; the Patchstack entry documents the issue against versions up to 1.3.0 but does not surface a fixed release in the provided data, so site operators should consult the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/theme/promo/vulnerability/wordpress-promo-theme-1-3-0-local-file-inclusion-vulnerability) and the AxiomThemes vendor portal for an updated version. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
