CVE-2025-58932 is a Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability found in the axiomthemes Prisma WordPress theme, specifically in versions up to 1.10. The vulnerability arises from improper control over the filename parameter used in PHP include or require statements, allowing an attacker to manipulate the input to include arbitrary files from the server's filesystem. This can lead to disclosure of sensitive files such as configuration files, password files, or other critical data, and in some cases, may allow remote code execution if the attacker can include files containing executable PHP code. The vulnerability is classified as an LFI rather than a Remote File Inclusion (RFI), indicating that the attacker cannot directly include files from remote servers but can exploit local files on the server. The issue affects the Prisma theme, a product by axiomthemes, commonly used in WordPress environments. The vulnerability was reserved in September 2025 and published in December 2025, with no CVSS score assigned yet and no known exploits in the wild. The lack of a patch link suggests that a fix is either pending or not publicly available at the time of reporting. Exploitation typically requires no authentication, increasing the risk profile, and may require user interaction depending on how the vulnerable code is triggered within the theme's functionality. This vulnerability is significant because WordPress themes are widely deployed, and compromised themes can lead to website defacement, data leakage, or server compromise.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-58932 can be substantial. Many businesses, especially SMEs and content-driven enterprises, rely on WordPress and associated themes like Prisma for their online presence. Exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information such as database credentials, user data, or internal configuration files. In worst-case scenarios, attackers could execute arbitrary code on the web server, leading to full site compromise, defacement, or use of the server as a pivot point for further attacks within the corporate network. This can damage brand reputation, lead to regulatory non-compliance (e.g., GDPR breaches), and cause financial losses. Public-facing websites in sectors such as e-commerce, media, and government are particularly at risk. The absence of known exploits currently provides a window for proactive mitigation, but the ease of exploitation without authentication means that attackers could quickly develop exploits once details become widely known.

1. Monitor axiomthemes and WordPress security advisories closely for an official patch or update to Prisma and apply it immediately upon release. 2. In the absence of an official patch, review and harden the theme’s PHP code by implementing strict input validation and sanitization on any parameters controlling file inclusion. 3. Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules designed to detect and block suspicious file inclusion attempts targeting PHP include/require statements. 4. Restrict file system permissions on the web server to limit access to sensitive files and directories, minimizing the impact of any file inclusion. 5. Conduct regular security audits and code reviews of custom themes and plugins to identify similar vulnerabilities. 6. Use security plugins that can detect anomalous behavior or file changes in WordPress installations. 7. Educate site administrators about the risks of installing untrusted themes and the importance of timely updates. 8. Implement network segmentation and least privilege principles to contain potential breaches originating from web servers.
