Mitigation Strategies

The immediate and recommended mitigation step is to update the Greenly Theme to version 8.2 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.

If updating immediately is not possible, restrict user privileges to prevent untrusted users from having Contributor or Developer roles, as the vulnerability requires such privileges to be exploited.

Additionally, consider implementing web application firewall (WAF) rules to block attempts to exploit Local File Inclusion vulnerabilities.
