Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires an authenticated WordPress session with at least low privileges (CVSS PR:L) on a site running the Tonda theme version 2.5 or earlier, and the attacker must reach the specific theme code path that passes user-influenced input into a PHP include/require statement. The attack is network-reachable with no user interaction (AV:N/UI:N) but is rated high-complexity (AC:H), meaning specific non-default conditions or non-trivial payload crafting are needed rather than a trivial one-shot request. Limiting factors: the account requirement blocks purely anonymous attackers (except where open registration is on), and only the vulnerable Tonda theme deployments are in scope.

Impact

The provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H = 7.5) describes a network-reachable but higher-complexity flaw requiring some authentication (PR:L). Per the precision rules PR:L confirms this is an authenticated issue, not unauthenticated, which meaningfully limits mass exploitation to attackers who already hold a WordPress account (e.g., subscriber/contributor) or can obtain one where open registration is enabled. AC:H indicates non-trivial conditions must be met, further lowering drive-by risk. No EPSS score was provided and the CVE is absent from CISA KEV, and no POC was referenced - so real-world exploitation pressure appears low-to-moderate despite the High CVSS. Note a signal tension: the vector rates I:H and A:H, but the vendor tags label this "Information Disclosure / LFI," which is primarily a confidentiality impact; the High integrity/availability scores likely reflect worst-case LFI-to-RCE potential (log poisoning) rather than confirmed direct write/DoS - verify with the Patchstack advisory before treating I:H/A:H as certain.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who has registered or obtained a low-privileged WordPress account submits a crafted request to a Tonda theme endpoint (e.g., a template/layout parameter) that manipulates a PHP include path to point at a local file such as ../../../../wp-config.php, retrieving database credentials and secret keys. With additional effort meeting the higher-complexity conditions (AC:H), the same primitive could be chained with log or session file poisoning to achieve code execution. No public proof-of-concept was referenced in the available data.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 13, 2026

Local File Inclusion in the Select-Themes "Tonda" WordPress theme (all versions through 2.5) lets an authenticated attacker with low privileges coerce a PHP include/require statement into loading arbitrary local files on the server. Tracked as CVE-2026-57805 (CWE-98) and reported by Patchstack, it carries a CVSS 7.5 rating and enables disclosure of sensitive files such as wp-config.php, with potential escalation to code execution via log/session poisoning. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch version is identified at time of analysis; the input only confirms all versions up to and including 2.5 are affected, so monitor Select-Themes/Patchstack (https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Theme/tonda/vulnerability/wordpress-tonda-theme-2-5-local-file-inclusion-vulnerability) and upgrade to the first release above 2.5 once published. Until a fix is available, apply compensating controls: use a WordPress WAF/virtual patch (Patchstack offers one) to block file-inclusion payloads and directory-traversal sequences against theme endpoints; tighten access by disabling open user registration and enforcing least-privilege roles since exploitation requires an authenticated account; and harden PHP by setting open_basedir and allow_url_include=Off to constrain which files the theme can include - noting open_basedir can break plugins that legitimately access paths outside the web root. If the theme is not essential, switch to a maintained theme as the most durable mitigation.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The affected component is the Tonda commercial WordPress theme (CPE cpe:2.3:a:select-themes:tonda). The root cause is CWE-98, Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement ('PHP Remote/Local File Inclusion'): a PHP include(), require(), include_once() or require_once() call builds its path from attacker-influenceable input (commonly a theme template, layout, or shortcode parameter) without a strict allowlist or path sanitization. Because WordPress themes execute within the full CMS context, an included file is parsed and run as PHP by the web server, meaning any file the PHP process can read may be exposed and, if attacker-controlled content can be written into an includable file, executed.

DescriptionCVE.org

Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP Remote File Inclusion') vulnerability in Select-Themes Tonda tonda allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects Tonda: from n/a through <= 2.5.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

The Select-Themes 'Tonda' WordPress theme (all versions through 2.5) contains a local file inclusion vulnerability requiring authenticated access that allows low-privilege users to expose sensitive server files including wp-config.php and escalate privileges through log poisoning. Any WordPress installation running this freely distributed theme faces immediate risk of configuration disclosure and potential remote code execution through compromised or malicious user accounts. The vulnerability's reliance on existing authentication, combined with its wide deployment in WordPress ecosystems, creates a material risk for internal threat scenarios.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include immediate theme removal from production; web application firewall rules blocking suspicious file inclusion patterns and traversal sequences (../../../, encoded equivalents); filesystem permission hardening restricting access to wp-config.php and sensitive logs to web server process only; user permission audit to eliminate unnecessary publishing rights for low-privilege accounts; continuous monitoring of file access logs for inclusion attack attempts; and evaluation of dedicated WAF solutions with parameter-based file inclusion detection.

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.
