An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-49359 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: AncoraThemes ShieldGroup. 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-2025-49359/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-49359/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-49359","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-49359/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-49359","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wrpg-rcg3-gqvp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress theme","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can exploit a local file inclusion vulnerability in the ShieldGroup WordPress theme to read sensitive files or execute arbitrary code.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-98","name":"Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program"}],"description":"Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP Remote File Inclusion') vulnerability in AncoraThemes ShieldGroup shieldgroup allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects ShieldGroup: from n/a through \u003c= 2.13.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"WordPress ShieldGroup theme \u003c= 2.13 - Local File Inclusion vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-49359","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WordPress Militarology theme \u003c= 1.0.15 - Local File Inclusion vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-49360"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Content Fetcher plugin \u003c= 1.1 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-49358"},"products":["ShieldGroup"],"published":"2025-12-18","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":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["AncoraThemes"]},"summary":"Attackers can exploit a local file inclusion vulnerability in the ShieldGroup WordPress theme to read sensitive files or execute arbitrary code.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-49359/"}
