CVE-2026-57788 is a Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability in the WordPress Aalto Theme versions 1.8 and below. It arises from improper control of filenames used in PHP include or require statements, allowing an attacker with contributor-level privileges to include local files from the target website.

This flaw can expose sensitive data such as database credentials if the website's configuration permits access to such files.

The vulnerability is classified under the OWASP Top 10 category A3: Injection.

Impact Analysis

This can compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system, as indicated by the CVSS score of 7.5 with high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

However, exploitation requires contributor-level privileges and has a limited likelihood, which reduces the overall risk.
