Executive Summary

CVE-2026-25458 is a Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability found in the WordPress Moments Theme versions up to and including 2.2.

This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to include and display local files from the target website by exploiting improper control of filename parameters in PHP include/require statements.

As a result, attackers can potentially access sensitive information stored on the server, such as database credentials.

The issue falls under the OWASP Top 10 category A3: Injection and is classified specifically as Local File Inclusion.

Impact Analysis

Exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive files on the web server.

Attackers may obtain critical information such as database credentials, which could result in a complete database takeover depending on the website's configuration.

This can compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the website and its data.

Because the vulnerability is unauthenticated and has a high severity score (CVSS 8.1), it is likely to be exploited in mass-exploit campaigns targeting many websites.

Mitigation Strategies

This vulnerability currently has no official patch available.

Patchstack has issued a mitigation rule that blocks attacks exploiting this vulnerability until an official patch can be safely applied.

Users are advised to update the affected Moments theme as soon as a patch is released.

Alternatively, seek assistance from your hosting provider or web developer to implement mitigations.

Compliance Impact

The Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability in the WordPress Moments Theme can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive information such as database credentials. This exposure can result in data breaches, which may compromise personal or protected health information.

Such data breaches can negatively impact compliance with common standards and regulations like GDPR and HIPAA, which require the protection of sensitive data and mandate strict controls to prevent unauthorized access.

Therefore, exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to violations of these regulations due to potential data exposure and loss of confidentiality.
