CVE-2025-52816Network attack vector

Unauthenticated local file disclosure via PHP inclusion

Published Jun 27, 2025 · Updated May 12, 2026

Local file inclusion in ThemeHunk Zita 1.6.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to read server files through crafted web requests. The record says a filename used by a PHP include or require operation is improperly controlled, but the affected PHP file, function, and request parameter are undisclosed. No authentication is required; successful inclusion exposes local server-file contents, including credentials, while the published mechanism does not establish code execution.
