Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2023-23700 exists.\n\nAffected product: OceanWP. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-23700/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-23700/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-23700","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-23700/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-23700","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-vfvm-79qm-696f"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress theme","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated attackers can exploit a path traversal flaw in the OceanWP theme to include arbitrary local files, potentially leading to code execution or data disclosure.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.6,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in OceanWP allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects OceanWP: from n/a through 3.4.1.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"WordPress OceanWP theme \u003c= 3.4.1 - Authenticated Local File Inclusion vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-23700","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WordPress Easy Sign Up Plugin \u003c= 3.4.1 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-23701"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Progress Bar Plugin \u003c= 2.2.1 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-23699"},"products":["OceanWP"],"published":"2024-05-17","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["OceanWP"]},"summary":"Authenticated attackers can exploit a path traversal flaw in the OceanWP theme to include arbitrary local files, potentially leading to code execution or data disclosure.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-23700/"}
