Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2025-58913 affects the WordPress VideoPro theme by CactusThemes through version 2.3.8.1. It is a high-severity local file inclusion issue that could let an unauthenticated remote attacker make the site include unintended local files. For businesses, exposed WordPress sites using this theme should be prioritized for review because confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts are rated high.
Executive priority
Treat this as a near-term remediation item for any public WordPress site using VideoPro. The issue is high severity and unauthenticated, but current provided sources do not confirm active exploitation or a named patch. Focus first on internet-facing, business-critical sites.
Technical view
The CVE describes improper control of a filename used in a PHP include/require statement in CactusThemes VideoPro, allowing PHP local file inclusion. The CVSS 3.1 score is 8.1 with AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H. Sources identify affected versions as VideoPro <= 2.3.8.1. The bundle does not name a fixed version.
Likely exposure
Exposure is likely limited to WordPress sites with the CactusThemes VideoPro theme installed at version 2.3.8.1 or earlier. The CVSS vector indicates network reachability, no required authentication, and no user interaction, but high attack complexity.
Exploitation context
There is no KEV listing and the provided sources do not state active exploitation. Public details in the bundle are limited to the vulnerability class, affected theme, affected version range, and CVSS assessment. Do not assume exploit availability from these sources alone.
Researcher notes
The CVE record and Patchstack entry identify CWE-98-style PHP include/require filename control leading to local file inclusion. The source bundle has limited product metadata and does not provide exploit mechanics, indicators, or a fixed version. Further validation should rely on vendor/Patchstack updates.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites for the VideoPro theme and version.
- Prioritize sites running VideoPro 2.3.8.1 or earlier.
- Check CactusThemes and Patchstack guidance for a fixed release or official workaround.
- Remove or replace the theme if it is not required.
- Increase monitoring for affected sites until remediation is confirmed.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether VideoPro is installed on each WordPress site.
- Verify the installed VideoPro version against the <= 2.3.8.1 affected range.
- Review vendor and Patchstack records for updated remediation information.
- Confirm the vulnerable theme is updated, removed, or replaced.
- Review web logs for unusual requests targeting theme functionality.
