Detection Guidance

There is no specific detection method or commands provided in the available resources for identifying the CVE-2025-69119 vulnerability on your network or system.

However, since the vulnerability is an unauthenticated Local File Inclusion (LFI) in the WordPress Corbesier Theme (versions 1.15.0 and below), detection efforts could focus on monitoring for suspicious HTTP requests attempting to include local files.

You may consider inspecting web server logs for unusual URL parameters or payloads that try to access local files, such as those containing directory traversal patterns (e.g., "../") or attempts to include sensitive files.

Additionally, applying Patchstack's mitigation rules or consulting with your hosting provider or web developer for custom detection scripts or firewall rules is advised until an official patch is released.
