Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2026-22414 affects the Marra WordPress theme through version 1.2. It can let an unauthenticated remote attacker include local server files through vulnerable PHP include logic. That can threaten confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the website. No provided source states active exploitation.
Executive priority
Prioritize sites using Marra on public-facing WordPress installations. The potential impact is high, but current sources do not show known active exploitation or a confirmed patch. Focus first on identifying exposed sites and checking vendor guidance.
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 attack vector, no privileges, no user interaction, and high complexity. Impact is rated high across confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Likely exposure
Public WordPress sites running the Mikado-Themes Marra theme at version 1.2 or earlier are the likely exposure. The provided data does not identify other affected products or plugins.
Exploitation context
Sources describe local file inclusion via PHP include/require handling. The CVSS vector indicates remote unauthenticated exploitation without user interaction, but with high attack complexity. CISA KEV status is false in the provided bundle.
Researcher notes
Evidence is limited to the CVE record and Patchstack entry. The source bundle states affected versions through 1.2, while the structured affected version field appears sparse. No exploit status, patch version, or concrete workaround is provided in the supplied sources.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites for the Marra theme and record installed versions.
- Treat Marra version 1.2 or earlier as affected until vendor guidance says otherwise.
- Check Patchstack and the theme vendor for an official fixed version or workaround.
- If no fix is available, consider disabling or replacing the theme after business testing.
- Remove unused copies of the theme from WordPress installations.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether the Marra theme is installed on each WordPress site.
- Verify the installed Marra version from WordPress administration or asset inventory.
- Review web logs for unusual requests targeting theme PHP include paths.
- Check vendor and Patchstack advisories for updated remediation details.
- Document whether the theme is active, inactive, or removed.
