description

Affected WordPress versions can be induced to load a readable local PHP file outside the active theme during page-template selection. An unauthenticated attacker may obtain code execution when the active theme has a top-level directory beginning with "page-" and a suitable readable PHP file is present on the server.

mitigation

Upgrade WordPress to 7.1.2, or update the installed branch to its corresponding fixed release, down to 4.7.37. Until upgraded, remove or rename unnecessary top-level theme directories beginning with "page-" and limit web-server access to local PHP files.

fixed in 7.1.2, 7.0.6, 6.9.9, 6.8.10, 6.7.9, 6.6.9, 6.5.12, 6.4.12, 6.3.12, 6.2.13, 6.1.14, 6.0.16, 5.9.18, 5.8.17, 5.7.19, 5.6.21, 5.5.22, 5.4.23, 5.3.25, 5.2.28, 5.1.26, 5.0.29, 4.9.33, 4.8.32, 4.7.37

outcome

Upstream: a detection for this already ships elsewhere, so we didn't generate a new one. The credit goes to whoever did.
