Unauthenticated file inclusion via unrestricted PHP filename
Published Mar 5, 2026 · Updated Mar 5, 2026
Local file inclusion in ThemeREX Stargaze 1.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to include server-side files without authentication. The published record does not identify the request handler or parameter, but it states that attacker-controlled input reaches a PHP include or require operation without adequate filename restriction. No login is required; file disclosure is direct, while PHP code execution requires an includable attacker-controlled file already on the server.

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.
