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 | Exploitation requires an authenticated session on the target WordPress site (CVSS PR:L - a valid low-privilege account such as subscriber/contributor) and a request that reaches the theme's parameter-driven PHP include/require path so a local file name can be manipulated via traversal. Limiting factors: the CVSS AC:H rating signals non-trivial, non-default preconditions (the specific vulnerable feature/template path must be reachable and the attacker must craft input that survives partial sanitization), authentication is mandatory (not unauthenticated), and the site must be running the Struktur theme version 2.5.1 or earlier. Because it is classified as Local (not Remote) File Inclusion, only files already present on the server can be included - there is no documented remote-URL inclusion, which further constrains impact absent a secondary log/session-poisoning technique. |
| Impact | The signals are mixed and point to a real-but-conditional risk rather than an urgent internet-wide emergency. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/C:H/I:H/A:H = 7.5 High) shows a network-reachable flaw but qualifies it with high attack complexity and a low-privilege authentication requirement, so an attacker needs a valid WordPress account and must satisfy non-default preconditions. No EPSS score, SSVC decision, or KEV entry was provided, and no public proof-of-concept is referenced - so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation. The C:H/I:H/A:H impact rating in the input appears optimistic for a pure LFI classified by its own tags as 'Information Disclosure'; genuine integrity/availability impact would generally depend on a secondary RCE technique (e.g. log or session poisoning) that is not documented here. Net: a legitimate patch-management priority for sites running this theme, but the authentication requirement and high complexity make it more suited to targeted abuse than mass automation. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker registers or acquires a low-privileged WordPress account on a site running Struktur <= 2.5.1, then sends a crafted request to a theme endpoint whose include/require path is influenced by a request parameter, using traversal to point it at wp-config.php or another sensitive server file. The returned or rendered contents leak database credentials and secret keys, which the attacker reuses to deepen access; no public exploit is identified at time of analysis, and the AC:H rating implies the attacker must first satisfy specific preconditions to reach the vulnerable code path. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 13, 2026
Local File Inclusion in the Select-Themes "Struktur" WordPress theme (all versions up to and including 2.5.1) lets an authenticated attacker coerce a PHP include/require statement into loading arbitrary local files on the server, exposing sensitive content such as wp-config.php credentials and, under the right conditions, escalating to code execution. Tracked as CVE-2026-57802 (CWE-98) and reported by Patchstack, it carries a CVSS 7.5 rating; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not on CISA KEV. The CVSS vector's PR:L indicates authentication is required and AC:H reflects non-trivial exploitation preconditions.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch version is identified in the available data (the advisory lists impact only 'through <= 2.5.1' without naming a fixed release), so the primary action is to check Select-Themes / ThemeForest and the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Theme/struktur/vulnerability/wordpress-struktur-theme-2-5-1-local-file-inclusion-vulnerability-2) for an update newer than 2.5.1 and apply it once released. Until a fix is confirmed, apply compensating controls: deploy a WAF or Patchstack's virtual patch to block traversal sequences and suspicious file/template parameters in requests to the theme; restrict or remove low-privilege self-registration so untrusted users cannot obtain the authenticated access the exploit requires (trade-off: affects legitimate account signup); harden PHP by disabling allow_url_include and setting open_basedir to confine include() to the web root (trade-off: may break plugins relying on external paths); and tighten filesystem permissions on wp-config.php and other sensitive files. Because the theme itself is the vulnerable code, disabling/switching away from Struktur eliminates exposure at the cost of the site's active theme.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected component is Struktur, a commercial WordPress theme published by Select-Themes (CPE cpe:2.3:a:select-themes:struktur:*). The root cause is CWE-98 (Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement), which occurs when a PHP include(), require(), include_once() or require_once() call incorporates attacker-influenced input into the file path without adequate sanitization or allow-listing. In WordPress themes this typically arises from a template/parameter-driven loader (e.g. a 'page', 'template', or 'file' request parameter) that is concatenated into an include path, allowing traversal to unintended local files. Although CWE-98 formally covers Remote File Inclusion, Patchstack classifies this specific issue as Local File Inclusion, meaning the attacker references files already present on the server rather than a remote URL.

Executive ViewAI
Organizations using the Select-Themes Struktur WordPress theme (versions up to 2.5.1) face credential compromise through an authenticated local file inclusion vulnerability that exposes wp-config.php and other sensitive configuration files. Although no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, an attacker with valid WordPress credentials could extract site credentials and database information, potentially escalating to complete site control. No patch is currently available from the vendor.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) strictly limit WordPress user accounts to trusted administrators only; (2) disable unused user accounts; (3) implement web application firewall rules blocking file inclusion patterns; (4) enable monitoring and alerting on access to wp-config.php and sensitive configuration files; (5) if operational feasibility permits, migrate to an alternative maintained WordPress theme; (6) maintain verified offline backups for rapid site recovery.

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.
