Deeper analysis

CVE-2026-22370 is an Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program vulnerability, specifically a PHP Remote File Inclusion flaw that enables PHP Local File Inclusion, in the Marveland WordPress theme developed by axiomthemes. The issue affects all versions of Marveland up to and including 1.3.0. It has 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 is associated with CWE-98.

Remote, unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability over the network, though it requires high attack complexity and no user interaction. Successful exploitation allows attackers to include and execute arbitrary local files on the server, potentially leading to high-impact confidentiality breaches, integrity modifications, and availability disruptions, such as unauthorized access to sensitive data or remote code execution.
