CVE-2025-60058 is a remote file inclusion vulnerability affecting AncoraThemes DetailX versions up to 1.10.0. The vulnerability arises from improper control over the filename parameter used in PHP include or require statements, allowing an attacker to specify a remote file to be included and executed by the server. This type of vulnerability enables remote code execution (RCE), as the attacker can inject malicious PHP code that the server will run with the privileges of the web server process. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.1 reflects a high severity due to the network attack vector, no privileges or user interaction required, and the potential for full confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise. The attack complexity is high, indicating some conditions must be met for exploitation, possibly related to specific configurations or input validation bypasses. No known exploits have been reported in the wild yet, but the vulnerability is publicly disclosed and should be considered exploitable. The lack of a patch link suggests that a fix may not yet be available, increasing the urgency for mitigation through configuration hardening and monitoring. This vulnerability specifically affects websites using the DetailX theme from AncoraThemes, which is a WordPress theme product. Since WordPress is widely used across Europe, the exposure is significant wherever DetailX is deployed.

For European organizations, exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to severe consequences including unauthorized access to sensitive data, defacement or disruption of websites, and potential pivoting into internal networks. Confidentiality is at risk as attackers can execute arbitrary code and potentially access database credentials or user information. Integrity is compromised since attackers can modify website content or inject malicious scripts. Availability may be affected if attackers disrupt services or deploy ransomware. Organizations relying on DetailX for customer-facing websites or internal portals could suffer reputational damage and regulatory penalties under GDPR if personal data is exposed. The risk is heightened for sectors with critical online presence such as e-commerce, government, healthcare, and financial services. The absence of known exploits currently provides a window for proactive defense, but the public disclosure increases the likelihood of future exploit development.

Immediate mitigation should focus on restricting the ability of PHP include/require statements to load remote files by disabling allow_url_include and allow_url_fopen in the PHP configuration. Organizations should monitor and audit web server logs for suspicious requests attempting to exploit file inclusion. Employing a Web Application Firewall (WAF) with rules to detect and block RFI payloads can provide an additional layer of defense. Until an official patch is released, consider isolating or disabling the DetailX theme if feasible. Developers and administrators should review and sanitize all user inputs that influence file inclusion paths, implementing strict whitelisting of allowed files. Regular backups and incident response plans should be updated to prepare for potential exploitation. Once a patch is available, prioritize prompt application and verify the fix through testing. Additionally, conducting vulnerability scans targeting this CVE can help identify affected systems within the environment.
