CVE-2025-58895 is a vulnerability in the AncoraThemes Integro PHP theme, specifically versions up to and including 1.8.0, caused by improper control over the filename parameter used in include or require statements. This flaw leads to a PHP Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability, where an attacker can manipulate the input to include arbitrary files from the server's filesystem. The vulnerability arises because the application fails to properly validate or sanitize the filename input before including it, allowing attackers to traverse directories or specify unintended files. Exploiting this vulnerability can lead to disclosure of sensitive files such as configuration files, source code, or credentials, impacting confidentiality. While the CVSS vector indicates no privileges or user interaction are required and the attack is network accessible, the impact on integrity is limited and availability is not affected. No public exploits have been reported yet, but the vulnerability is rated high severity with a CVSS score of 8.2, reflecting the ease of exploitation and significant confidentiality impact. The vulnerability affects websites using the Integro theme, which is commonly deployed on PHP-based CMS platforms, making it a relevant threat to web servers and hosting environments. The lack of available patches at the time of publication necessitates immediate attention to mitigate risk.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality of sensitive data hosted on web servers running the vulnerable Integro theme. Attackers exploiting this flaw can access configuration files, user data, or other sensitive information, potentially leading to data breaches or further compromise. Since the vulnerability does not require authentication or user interaction, it can be exploited remotely by any attacker scanning for vulnerable sites. This increases the attack surface for organizations with public-facing websites using the Integro theme. The integrity impact is limited, but disclosure of sensitive files can facilitate subsequent attacks such as privilege escalation or lateral movement. Availability is not directly impacted, but indirect effects such as reputational damage and regulatory penalties under GDPR for data breaches could be severe. Organizations in Europe with significant online presence, especially those relying on PHP-based CMS platforms, should consider this a high-priority threat.

1. Monitor official AncoraThemes channels and security advisories for patches addressing CVE-2025-58895 and apply updates immediately upon release. 2. Until patches are available, perform a thorough code review of the Integro theme to identify and restrict unsafe include/require statements, implementing strict input validation and sanitization to prevent arbitrary file inclusion. 3. Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules designed to detect and block attempts at directory traversal and file inclusion attacks targeting PHP applications. 4. Restrict web server permissions to limit access to sensitive files and directories, minimizing the impact if an attacker exploits the vulnerability. 5. Conduct vulnerability scanning and penetration testing focused on file inclusion vulnerabilities across all web assets using the Integro theme. 6. Educate development and operations teams about secure coding practices related to file inclusion and input validation. 7. Consider isolating or containerizing web applications to limit the blast radius of potential exploitation.
