This vulnerability, classified as CWE-98, occurs due to improper validation of filenames used in PHP include or require statements within LiquidThemes Hub Core. It enables PHP Local File Inclusion, which can be exploited to execute arbitrary code or access sensitive files on the server. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 7.5, reflecting high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vulnerability affects versions prior to 6.0.2. There is no indication of known exploits in the wild or vendor-provided patches at this time.

Successful exploitation can lead to full compromise of the affected system by allowing attackers to include and execute arbitrary local files. This impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system. Given the high CVSS score and the nature of the vulnerability, affected systems are at significant risk if exposed.

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict access to the affected application to trusted users only and consider applying temporary mitigations such as disabling vulnerable functionality or implementing strict input validation on filenames used in include/require statements.
