CVE-2025-60066Network attack vector

Unauthenticated PHP execution via local file inclusion

Published Dec 18, 2025 · Updated Dec 18, 2025

Local file inclusion in AxiomThemes Katelyn 1.0.10 and earlier allows remote attackers to include and execute server-side PHP files. Published records do not identify the affected parameter, function, or request route within the theme. No authentication is required; execution depends on a suitable local file already being present, while included files can also expose sensitive data or bypass access controls.
