Threat & Defense Details

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

prevent

Validates filenames used in PHP include/require statements to prevent local file inclusion by rejecting invalid or malicious inputs.

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match

prevent

Remediates the specific flaw in the Wilmër theme by applying patches or updates to version 3.5 or later.

CM-6 Configuration Settings partial match

prevent

Enforces secure configuration settings for PHP, such as restricting file paths or disabling dangerous functions, to limit local file inclusion exploitation.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application Initial Access

Adversaries may attempt to exploit a weakness in an Internet-facing host or system to initially access a network.

Deeper analysisAI

CVE-2025-67515 is an Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program vulnerability, classified as PHP Local File Inclusion (CWE-98), affecting the Wilmër WordPress theme developed by Mikado-Themes. The flaw enables local file inclusion through inadequate validation of filenames used in PHP include or require statements. It impacts all versions of the Wilmër theme from n/a through those prior to 3.5, with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating high severity due to network accessibility and significant impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

An attacker with low privileges, such as an authenticated WordPress user, can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low complexity and no user interaction required. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to include and potentially execute arbitrary local files on the server, leading to high-level compromise including data exfiltration, code execution, or system disruption.

The Patchstack advisory for this vulnerability, available at the referenced URL, details the local file inclusion issue in the Wilmër theme and recommends updating to version 3.5 or later, where the flaw has been addressed.
