Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2026-22385 affects the WordPress Wolmart theme up to version 1.9.6. It is a high-severity file inclusion issue that could let an unauthenticated attacker access or influence sensitive server-side files if exploitation conditions are met. No source provided states active exploitation, and CISA KEV is false.
Executive priority
Treat as a high-priority WordPress exposure review for any internet-facing site using Wolmart. Prioritize inventory and remediation planning, but do not assume confirmed exploitation from the provided sources.
Technical view
The issue is described as improper control of filenames in PHP include/require logic, mapped to CWE-98. The CVSS 3.1 score is 8.1 with network attack vector, no privileges, no user interaction, high attack complexity, and high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.
Likely exposure
Public WordPress sites using the don-themes Wolmart theme at version 1.9.6 or earlier are the primary concern. Sites not using Wolmart, or using unaffected versions per vendor guidance, are not indicated as exposed by the provided sources.
Exploitation context
The CVSS vector indicates remote unauthenticated exploitation is possible without user interaction, but high attack complexity applies. The sources do not provide exploit details and do not state active exploitation. KEV status is false in the provided bundle.
Researcher notes
Public details are sparse. The record identifies Wolmart through version 1.9.6 and CWE-98-style PHP file inclusion. No exploit proof, patch version, or detailed vulnerable endpoint is included in the provided sources. Validate exposure through version inventory and vendor advisory tracking.
Mitigation direction
- Identify all WordPress sites using the Wolmart theme.
- Check the installed Wolmart version against the affected range.
- Review Patchstack and vendor guidance for an official fixed version or mitigation.
- Update Wolmart if a fixed release is available from trusted sources.
- Remove or disable Wolmart where it is not business-required.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether Wolmart is installed on each WordPress site.
- Record the exact theme version for asset tracking.
- Flag versions 1.9.6 or earlier for remediation review.
- Check security monitoring for unusual file access or inclusion-related errors.
- Reassess after applying any vendor-recommended update or mitigation.
