Unauthenticated local file disclosure
Published Aug 28, 2025 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Local file inclusion in GaviasThemes Kipso 1.3.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to read files from the WordPress server. The public advisory does not identify the affected PHP file, request parameter, or include/require operation that accepts the attacker-controlled filename. No authentication or user interaction is required, but exploitation must satisfy an undisclosed high-complexity condition; disclosed files can contain credentials that support broader database compromise.
