Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2026-22373 affects the WordPress Fooddy theme up to version 1.3.10. It can let an unauthenticated attacker include local files through vulnerable PHP include logic. For businesses, the urgency is highest for public WordPress sites using this theme, because compromise could expose data or affect site integrity and availability.
Executive priority
Prioritize public WordPress sites using Fooddy. If the theme is not present, business risk from this CVE is low. If present and unfixed, schedule urgent remediation planning because the vulnerability can affect data confidentiality, site integrity, and availability.
Technical view
The issue is classified as CWE-98: improper control of filenames in PHP include/require statements. The CVSS 3.1 score is 8.1 with network access, no privileges, no user interaction, and high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Attack complexity is rated high. Public sources identify affected Fooddy versions through 1.3.10.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to WordPress installations running the AncoraThemes Fooddy theme through version 1.3.10. Internet-facing WordPress sites are the main concern. The provided sources do not identify other affected products or a confirmed fixed version.
Exploitation context
The source bundle does not show CISA KEV listing or cited evidence of active exploitation. The vulnerability is publicly documented by Patchstack and the CVE Program. Attack complexity is high, but exploitation requires no authentication or user interaction according to the CVSS vector.
Researcher notes
Evidence is limited to the CVE record and Patchstack entry referenced in the source bundle. No exploit status, patch version, or vendor advisory details were provided. Avoid assuming remote file inclusion beyond the stated local file inclusion impact, despite the CWE label wording.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites for the Fooddy theme and installed version.
- If Fooddy is present at version 1.3.10 or earlier, treat the site as exposed.
- Check AncoraThemes and Patchstack guidance for a fixed version or vendor workaround.
- If no fix is available, consider disabling or replacing the theme.
- Restrict administrative access and review WordPress hardening controls.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether the Fooddy theme is installed on each WordPress site.
- Record the exact Fooddy theme version from WordPress or asset inventory.
- Check web logs for unusual requests targeting theme PHP files.
- Review file integrity and unexpected changes on exposed WordPress hosts.
- Monitor Patchstack and CVE records for updated remediation information.
