Threat & Defense Details

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match
prevent

SI-10 enforces information input validation at file upload points to reject dangerous file types like web shells, directly preventing the unrestricted upload vulnerability.

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match
prevent

SI-2 requires timely flaw remediation, such as patching the vulnerable Corpkit WordPress theme to eliminate the unrestricted file upload capability.

SI-3 Malicious Code Protection partial match
preventdetect

SI-3 deploys malicious code protection mechanisms to scan for and block execution of uploaded web shells on the web server.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1100 Web Shell Persistence
A Web shell is a Web script that is placed on an openly accessible Web server to allow an adversary to use the Web server as a gateway into a network.
attack.mitre.org →
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.
attack.mitre.org →
T1505.003 Web Shell Persistence
Adversaries may backdoor web servers with web shells to establish persistent access to systems.
attack.mitre.org →
Why these techniques?

Unrestricted file upload (CWE-434) in public-facing WordPress theme directly enables web shell deployment (T1100/T1505.003) via exploitation of exposed application (T1190).

Deeper analysisAI

CVE-2025-67924 is an Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type vulnerability (CWE-434) in the Corpkit WordPress theme developed by zozothemes. The flaw allows attackers to upload a web shell to the web server. It affects Corpkit versions from n/a through 2.0 inclusive and was published on 2026-01-08T10:15:51.347.

The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.9 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H). Low-privileged users (PR:L) with network access can exploit it remotely with low attack complexity and no user interaction required. Successful exploitation enables high-impact compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability across the affected scope due to the changed scope (S:C).

Patchstack advisories detail this arbitrary file upload vulnerability in the WordPress Corpkit theme version 2.0.
