Arbitrary file read via local file inclusion
Published Aug 20, 2026 · Updated Aug 20, 2026
Local file inclusion in Edge Themes Shuffle 1.8 and earlier allows remote attackers to read local files via crafted web requests. Public records do not name the vulnerable PHP file or parameter, but the CNA maps the flaw to CWE-98, indicating that theme code passes attacker-influenced paths to an include or require operation without sufficient restriction. Exposure requires a reachable Shuffle-powered site and no authentication; Patchstack states affected requests can return file contents, including credential-bearing files, and marks version 1.9 as unaffected.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
