Deeper analysis

CVE-2025-69083 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 (CWE-98), in the Elated-Themes Frappé WordPress theme. This issue affects Frappé versions from n/a through <=1.8. The vulnerability carries 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), indicating high severity due to network accessibility and significant impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

The vulnerability can be exploited by unauthenticated attackers with network access to the affected WordPress site, requiring high attack complexity but no user interaction or privileges. Successful exploitation allows attackers to perform local file inclusion, potentially leading to high-impact confidentiality breaches (e.g., reading sensitive files), integrity modifications, and availability disruptions.

Affected Assets

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match
prevent

Flaw remediation directly patches the improper filename control in the Frappé theme's PHP include/require, eliminating the LFI vulnerability.

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match
prevent

Information input validation ensures filenames passed to PHP include/require statements are sanitized and restricted, preventing malicious LFI exploitation.

CM-6 Configuration Settings partial match
prevent

Secure configuration settings for PHP, such as open_basedir restrictions, limit file access paths and mitigate LFI impacts in the Frappé theme.
