Teoro WordPress theme: Unauthenticated local file inclusion
Summary
The Teoro WordPress theme up to and including version 1.1 contains a local file inclusion vulnerability (CWE-98). An unauthenticated remote attacker can make the website load server-side files it should not access, which can expose sensitive data and, in some cases, lead to a full site takeover. Exposure is high for any public website running the theme, and nulled (pirated) copies may be unpatched.
Affected
- Teoro WordPress theme, versions up to and including 1.1
- Vendor: CocoBasic (commercial theme sold on ThemeForest)
Fixed in
Unknown. No vendor advisory has been found. A third-party source lists version 1.2 as current, but this is not confirmed as a fix.
Workaround
- If an immediate update is not possible, deactivate the Teoro theme and switch to a supported theme.
- Check production, staging and backup environments for the theme, including child themes.
Exploitation
- Not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
- CISA SSVC (Vulnrichment): exploitation none, automatable no, technical impact total.
- EPSS score 0.00338.
- No public proof of concept found. Patchstack rates the issue as high priority and expects exploitation.
Our recommendation
- Inventory all WordPress sites for the Teoro theme, including child themes and staging systems.
- If Teoro is found, deactivate it and replace it with a supported theme until a fixed version is confirmed by the vendor.
- Replace any nulled copy with a legitimately licensed version.
- Monitor the Patchstack entry and the vendor (CocoBasic) for an official advisory and patch.
- Review web server logs for requests to unusual file paths.
Public exploits
PoC-in-GitHub, Metasploit and Exploit-DB list nothing for this CVE.
