Summary

CVE-2024-13790 is a critical-severity PHP Remote File Inclusion (CWE-98) vulnerability in Thememove (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 9.8 (Critical).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 38.5% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and SI-2 (Flaw Remediation).

Deeper analysis

CVE-2024-13790 is a Local File Inclusion vulnerability (CWE-98) affecting the MinimogWP – The High Converting eCommerce WordPress Theme for WordPress in all versions up to and including 3.7.0. The flaw stems from improper handling of the 'template' parameter, which enables attackers to include and execute arbitrary files on the server, potentially leading to the execution of PHP code within those files.

Unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability remotely over the network with low attack complexity, no privileges, and no user interaction, as indicated by its CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). Exploitation allows inclusion of arbitrary server files for PHP code execution, enabling attackers to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve remote code execution, particularly when combined with uploads of images or other "safe" file types containing exploitable PHP content.

Advisories and related resources, including the theme's changelog at thememove.com, the ThemeForest product page, and Wordfence's threat intelligence report, provide details on updates and mitigation steps for affected installations.
