CVE-2025-39490Network attack vector

Unauthenticated code execution via local file inclusion

Published May 23, 2025 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

Local file inclusion in Mikado Themes Backpack Traveler 2.10.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to include server files. The affected PHP file and function are undisclosed; the theme passes attacker-controlled filename input to an include or require operation without adequate restriction. No authentication is required, and included PHP files can expose sensitive data or execute PHP code when attacker-controlled content is already present.
