Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2026-22412 affects the WordPress Eona theme through version 1.3. It may let an unauthenticated attacker make the site include local files through unsafe PHP include handling. The rated impact is high because successful exploitation could affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No provided source states active exploitation.
Executive priority
Treat as a high-priority WordPress exposure where Eona is used, especially on public sites. Business urgency depends on whether the theme is present and internet-facing. Since no active exploitation is cited, prioritize rapid inventory and vendor-guided remediation over emergency assumptions.
Technical view
The issue is classified as CWE-98: improper control of filename in PHP include/require handling. The CVSS 3.1 score is 8.1 with network attack vector, no privileges, no user interaction, and high complexity. Sources describe local file inclusion in Mikado-Themes Eona <= 1.3.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to WordPress installations with the Mikado-Themes Eona theme installed at version 1.3 or older. Publicly reachable WordPress sites are the main concern. The source bundle does not identify affected plugins, hosting platforms, or a fixed Eona version.
Exploitation context
The CVSS vector indicates unauthenticated remote reachability but high attack complexity. Successful exploitation could read or include sensitive local files and may affect site integrity or availability. The CVE is not listed as KEV, and the provided sources do not report active exploitation.
Researcher notes
Evidence is limited to CVE and Patchstack-style vulnerability metadata. The bundle does not provide a vulnerable parameter, endpoint, proof of concept, exploit conditions, or fixed version. Avoid assuming exploitability beyond the CVSS and affected-version statement until vendor details are confirmed.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites for the Eona theme and version.
- Check Mikado-Themes, Patchstack, and CVE guidance for a fixed release.
- Update Eona if a vendor-supported fixed version is available.
- If no fix is available, replace or remove the theme where feasible.
- Prioritize internet-facing and business-critical WordPress sites.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether Eona is installed, active or inactive, and version 1.3 or older.
- Review vendor and Patchstack records for updated remediation details.
- Check web logs for unusual file-include or traversal-like requests.
- Verify backups and recovery plans for affected WordPress sites.
- Document compensating controls if the theme cannot be removed quickly.

Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP Remote File Inclusion')
Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP Remote File Inclusion') represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
