Executive Summary

The WordPress Flow Theme, versions 1.8 and below, contains a Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability. This means that an attacker can exploit improper control of filenames used in include or require statements in PHP, allowing them to include local files on the target website.

This vulnerability arises from the theme's PHP code not properly validating or sanitizing the filename input, which can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive files on the server.

Impact Analysis

Exploiting this Local File Inclusion vulnerability could allow attackers to access sensitive data such as database credentials.

Depending on the server configuration, attackers might achieve a complete database takeover, leading to severe confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts on your website.

Since the theme has not been updated in over a year and is unlikely to be patched officially, the risk remains unless mitigated by other means.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediate action is recommended to mitigate the Local File Inclusion vulnerability in the WordPress Flow Theme versions 1.8 and below.

  • Update the theme to a newer, patched version if available.
  • Replace the vulnerable theme entirely if no update is available.
  • Note that simply deactivating the theme does not fully mitigate the threat.
  • Deploy a Patchstack mitigation rule to help protect against exploitation.
