Deeper analysis

CVE-2025-67532 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 Hara theme by ThemeBay for WordPress. The issue impacts Hara versions from n/a through 1.2.17, stemming from CWE-98. It carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating high potential impact with network accessibility but high attack complexity.
