id: CVE-2025-2558

info:
  name: WordPress The Wound Theme <= 0.0.1 - Local File Inclusion
  author: pussycat0x
  severity: high
  description: |
    The-wound WordPress theme through 0.0.1 contains a local file inclusion caused by insufficient validation of parameters used to generate paths passed to include functions, letting unauthenticated users perform LFI attacks and download arbitrary files from the server.
  impact: |
    Unauthenticated attackers can include arbitrary local files, potentially leading to information disclosure or remote code execution.
  remediation: |
    Update to the latest version of the theme where the issue is fixed or apply security patches that validate parameters properly.
