Deeper analysis

CVE-2025-52745 is an Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program vulnerability, described as PHP Remote File Inclusion but enabling PHP Local File Inclusion (CWE-98), in the Farm Agrico WordPress theme by AncoraThemes. It affects Farm Agrico versions from n/a through 1.3.11 and carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.1 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).

Remote attackers require no privileges or user interaction to exploit this over the network, though high attack complexity is needed. Successful exploitation grants high-impact access to confidentiality, integrity, and availability, allowing inclusion of arbitrary local files, which could lead to information disclosure or code execution depending on server configuration.

The Patchstack advisory documents this Local File Inclusion vulnerability specifically in Farm Agrico theme version 1.3.11 and provides vulnerability details for affected WordPress installations.
