Fabius WordPress theme: Unauthenticated Local File Inclusion
Summary
The Fabius WordPress theme up to and including version 1.0 contains an unauthenticated Local File Inclusion flaw. An remote attacker without a login can make the website load server files it should not access, which may expose sensitive data such as configuration files with database credentials and may lead to a full site takeover. The CVSS score is 8.1, but the attack complexity is rated high. The CWE is CWE-98 (PHP remote file inclusion), so the impact may be worse than local-only until the vendor or Patchstack clarifies.
Affected
- Fabius WordPress theme up to and including 1.0
- Folder name: fabius-wp
- Vendor: CocoBasic (sold via ThemeForest)
Fixed in
Unknown. No vendor advisory or patched release was found at the time of research.
Workaround
- No vendor workaround published.
- Remove or deactivate the theme if it is not needed.
- If it must stay in use, restrict access to the site where possible.
Exploitation
- Not known to be exploited; not listed in CISA KEV.
- CISA Vulnrichment SSVC: exploitation none, automatable no, technical impact total.
- No public proof of concept found.
- EPSS is low (0.00338).
Our recommendation
- Check all client and internal WordPress sites for the Fabius theme (folder fabius-wp).
- Deactivate and remove the theme where it is unused.
- Where it must stay, restrict access, monitor for a vendor fix from CocoBasic or Patchstack, and reinstall only a fixed release.
- Re-check the Patchstack record and NVD, as the NVD status is still Deferred.
Public exploits
PoC-in-GitHub, Metasploit and Exploit-DB list nothing for this CVE.
