CVE-2025-10269: CWE-98 Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP Remote File Inclusion') in Theme-Spirit Spirit Framework
The Spirit Framework plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.13. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to include and execute arbitrary .php files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files. This can be used to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve code execution in cases where .php file types can be uploaded and included.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-10269 is a Local File Inclusion vulnerability in the Spirit Framework WordPress plugin (versions up to 1.2.13). It arises from improper control of filenames used in include/require statements, allowing authenticated attackers with low privileges (Subscriber-level and above) to include arbitrary PHP files. This enables execution of arbitrary PHP code on the server, potentially bypassing access controls and exposing sensitive information. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-98 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). There is no vendor advisory or patch link available at this time.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Subscriber-level access or higher can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary PHP code on the server by including malicious PHP files. This can lead to full compromise of the affected WordPress site, including bypassing access controls, data disclosure, and complete server-side code execution. The high CVSS score reflects the significant confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict user roles to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity related to file uploads or inclusion. Avoid granting Subscriber-level or higher access to untrusted users. Follow updates from the Theme-Spirit vendor for patch availability.
