Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2026-22413 is a high-severity issue in the WordPress Malgré theme up to version 1.0.3. An attacker may be able to make the site include unintended local files. That can expose sensitive data and, in some conditions, affect site integrity or availability.
Executive priority
Prioritize identification and containment on public WordPress properties. The issue is high severity and unauthenticated, but evidence provided here does not confirm active exploitation or a named patch. Focus first on business-critical sites and sites using Malgré up to 1.0.3.
Technical view
The CVE describes improper control of a filename used in PHP include/require logic, mapped to CWE-98. The reported impact is PHP Local File Inclusion in Mikado-Themes Malgré through 1.0.3. CVSS 3.1 is 8.1: network reachable, unauthenticated, no user interaction, high complexity, with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.
Likely exposure
Exposure is most relevant to internet-facing WordPress sites with the Malgré theme installed at version 1.0.3 or earlier. The provided sources do not confirm whether inactive installed copies are exploitable, so teams should inventory both active and installed themes.
Exploitation context
The supplied data does not show CISA KEV listing or cited evidence of active exploitation. The CVSS vector indicates remote, unauthenticated attack potential, but high attack complexity. Public technical details and exact vulnerable parameters are not included in the provided source bundle.
Researcher notes
The record contains limited technical detail. It labels CWE-98 and mentions PHP Remote File Inclusion terminology, while the described outcome is Local File Inclusion. No exploit procedure, vulnerable endpoint, or patch version is provided in the supplied sources. Confidence is limited by those gaps.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites for the Malgré theme and record installed versions.
- Treat Malgré version 1.0.3 or earlier as affected.
- Check Mikado-Themes, Patchstack, and CVE guidance for an official fixed version.
- Disable or remove the theme where business impact allows until vendor guidance is available.
- Prioritize backups and monitoring for affected public WordPress sites.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether the Malgré theme is installed on each WordPress site.
- Verify the theme version and compare it to 1.0.3 or earlier.
- Check whether the theme is active or merely installed.
- Review web logs for unusual requests targeting theme PHP files.
- Track CVE and Patchstack entries for updated remediation details.

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.
