Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2026-27078 is a high-severity file inclusion flaw in the WordPress Emaurri theme from Mikado-Themes, affecting versions up to 1.0.1. If exploitable, it could let an unauthenticated attacker access or influence files through the website application. Sources do not state active exploitation or provide a named fixed version.
Executive priority
Prioritize identification and remediation on public WordPress sites using Emaurri. The potential impact is severe, but urgency is tempered by high attack complexity and no provided evidence of active exploitation. If the theme is unused, removal is the fastest risk reduction.
Technical view
The CVE describes improper control of a filename used in a PHP include/require statement, mapped to CWE-98. The reported impact is PHP local file inclusion in Emaurri through 1.0.1. CVSS 3.1 is 8.1 with network attack vector, no privileges, no user interaction, high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, and high attack complexity.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to WordPress sites with the Mikado-Themes Emaurri theme installed, especially versions 1.0.1 or earlier. The source bundle does not identify vulnerable endpoints, required configuration, or whether inactive installed themes are exploitable.
Exploitation context
The vulnerability is network-reachable and requires no authentication or user interaction per CVSS, but attack complexity is high. The CVE is not listed as KEV in the provided data, and no cited source states active exploitation.
Researcher notes
The record labels CWE-98 and mentions PHP remote file inclusion wording, while the described outcome is local file inclusion. Affected-version metadata in the bundle is sparse and partly inconsistent, but the narrative states Emaurri through 1.0.1. No patch version or exploit details are provided.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites for active or installed Emaurri theme.
- If Emaurri is unnecessary, remove it from production sites.
- If used, check Mikado-Themes or Patchstack guidance for a fixed version or workaround.
- Restrict administrative access and file-system write paths while awaiting vendor guidance.
- Increase monitoring for unexpected PHP include errors or sensitive file access.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether Emaurri theme is installed and note its version.
- Treat versions 1.0.1 and earlier as affected per CVE description.
- Review web server and application logs for suspicious file-include behavior.
- Check vendor or Patchstack advisory updates before declaring remediation complete.
- Avoid exploit testing on production systems.
