Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2026-25464 affects the WordPress Jannah theme from TieLabs through version 7.6.4. It can allow local file inclusion, meaning an unauthenticated attacker may cause the site to include unintended server-side files. The CVSS score is 8.1 high, but attack complexity is rated high and no active exploitation is reported in the provided sources.
Executive priority
Treat as a high-priority WordPress exposure if your organization uses the Jannah theme. Prioritize internet-facing sites because successful exploitation could affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Urgency is moderated by high attack complexity and lack of provided evidence for active exploitation.
Technical view
The CVE describes improper control of a filename used in a PHP include/require statement, mapped to CWE-98. Scope is WordPress Jannah theme through <= 7.6.4. CVSS 3.1 vector is AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, indicating remote, unauthenticated exploitation with high impact if conditions are met.
Likely exposure
Public WordPress sites running the TieLabs Jannah theme at version 7.6.4 or earlier are potentially exposed. Exposure depends on whether the vulnerable theme code is installed and reachable. The supplied data does not identify affected endpoints, prerequisites, or whether inactive installations are exploitable.
Exploitation context
The CVE is not listed as KEV in the provided bundle, and no cited source states active exploitation. The vulnerability is network-reachable and requires no privileges or user interaction, but CVSS marks attack complexity as high, suggesting exploitation may require specific conditions.
Researcher notes
There is a minor source inconsistency: the title references <= 7.6.4, while the Patchstack URL path mentions 7.6.3. The CVE description states through <= 7.6.4. No exploit details, patch version, or concrete mitigation are included in the supplied bundle, so validation should rely on vendor/Patchstack updates.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites for the Jannah theme and record exact versions.
- Prioritize sites running Jannah version 7.6.4 or earlier.
- Check TieLabs and Patchstack guidance for patched versions or vendor mitigations.
- If no fix is available, consider disabling or replacing the theme after business review.
- Restrict administrative access and monitor web logs for suspicious file-include behavior.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether the Jannah theme is installed on each WordPress site.
- Verify installed Jannah versions against the affected range through <= 7.6.4.
- Review vendor and Patchstack advisories for updated affected-version details.
- Check whether security tooling flags CVE-2026-25464 on WordPress assets.
- Document remediation status and exceptions for internet-facing sites first.
