Threat & Defense Details

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match

prevent

Directly requires timely patching of the LFI flaw in Wellspring WordPress theme versions prior to 2.8 to eliminate the improper filename control vulnerability.

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

prevent

Enforces validation of untrusted filename inputs to PHP include/require statements, preventing arbitrary local file inclusion exploitation.

RA-5 Vulnerability Monitoring and Scanning partial match

detect

Facilitates identification of the CVE-2025-67934 LFI vulnerability in the Wellspring theme through regular vulnerability scanning, enabling remediation.

Deeper analysisAI

CVE-2025-67934 is an Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement vulnerability, classified as a PHP Local File Inclusion (LFI) issue, affecting the Wellspring WordPress theme developed by Mikado-Themes. Despite the descriptor referencing PHP Remote File Inclusion, the vulnerability enables local file inclusion. It impacts all versions of Wellspring from n/a through those prior to 2.8, as published on 2026-01-08 with 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) and maps to CWE-98.

Unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability remotely over the network, requiring high attack complexity but no user interaction or privileges. Successful exploitation grants high-impact access to confidentiality, integrity, and availability, potentially allowing attackers to include and execute arbitrary local files on the server.

The Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Theme/wellspring/vulnerability/wordpress-wellspring-theme-2-8-local-file-inclusion-vulnerability?_s_id=cve details the local file inclusion vulnerability in the Wellspring theme and indicates mitigation via update to version 2.8 or later.
