Deeper analysis

CVE-2025-68913 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 Miion WordPress theme developed by zozothemes. The issue impacts all versions of Miion up to and including 1.2.7. It stems from CWE-98 and 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).

Attackers can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low privileges (such as an authenticated low-level WordPress user), though it requires high attack complexity and no user interaction. Successful exploitation allows high-impact confidentiality, integrity, and availability violations, potentially enabling attackers to include and execute arbitrary local files on the server, leading to unauthorized access, data disclosure, modification, or denial of service.
