Deeper analysis

CVE-2025-14359 is an Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program vulnerability, known as PHP Remote File Inclusion but enabling PHP Local File Inclusion (CWE-98), in the Oshine WordPress theme developed by brandexponents. This issue affects Oshine versions from n/a through 7.2.7.

Unauthenticated remote attackers can exploit the vulnerability over the network (AV:N) without user interaction (UI:N) or privileges (PR:N), though it requires high attack complexity (AC:H). Exploitation yields high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:H/I:H/A:H), with an overall CVSS 3.1 score of 8.1 (S:U), allowing local file inclusion that could expose sensitive server files.

The Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Theme/oshin/vulnerability/wordpress-oshine-theme-7-2-7-local-file-inclusion-vulnerability?_s_id=cve documents the local file inclusion flaw in Oshine theme version 7.2.7.
