CVE-2025-60069 is an Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program vulnerability, classified as PHP Remote File Inclusion but enabling PHP Local File Inclusion, affecting the ThemeMove MinimogWP theme for WordPress. The issue impacts MinimogWP versions from n/a through 3.9.6 and is associated with CWE-98. Published on 2025-12-18, it 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).
The vulnerability can be exploited remotely over the network by unauthenticated attackers with no required privileges or user interaction, though it demands high attack complexity. Successful exploitation grants high-impact access to confidential data, integrity modifications, and availability disruptions, potentially allowing attackers to include and execute local files on the server.
Mitigation details are available in the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Theme/minimog/vulnerability/wordpress-minimogwp-theme-3-9-2-local-file-inclusion-vulnerability?_s_id=cve, which documents the Local File Inclusion vulnerability in the MinimogWP theme.

Mitigating Controls
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and static analysis can discover missing filename restrictions before deployment.
Validating all inputs before they reach include/require statements directly stops untrusted filenames from being used.
Enforcing access authorizations on resources limits what an included file can reach even if a bad name is supplied.
Information-flow rules can block the loading of external or unauthorized files into the PHP process.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Secure SDLC practices such as input validation and allow-listing of include paths directly prevent the weakness.
Hardened runtime configuration (e.g., allow_url_include=off) directly blocks RFI even if code is flawed.
Execution restrictions can prevent the remote payload from running, while eliminating the weakness reduces the need for such controls.
Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Security testing can detect RFI but does not prevent the weakness by itself.
Secure coding standards directly require whitelisting and sanitization of filenames used in include/require statements.
