Deeper analysis

CVE-2025-60071 is an Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program vulnerability, known as PHP Remote File Inclusion, which allows PHP Local File Inclusion in the Riode WordPress theme developed by don-themes. This issue affects Riode versions from n/a through 1.6.23. The vulnerability is associated with CWE-98 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), indicating high severity due to network accessibility despite high attack complexity.

Unauthenticated remote attackers (PR:N) can exploit this vulnerability over the network (AV:N) without requiring user interaction (UI:N), though it demands high attack complexity (AC:H). Successful exploitation enables high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:H/I:H/A:H), such as unauthorized access to local files, potential code execution, or system compromise depending on the included files.
