Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability in the xtemos WoodMart WordPress theme allows attackers to include arbitrary PHP files from the server via improper control of filenames in include/require statements. This can lead to code execution, sensitive data exposure, or complete site compromise.

MitigationUpdate WoodMart theme to version 8.3.2 or later. If patching is not immediately possible, disable the theme and review server access logs for signs of exploitation.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm WoodMart theme is installed
    Navigate to WordPress admin dashboard > Appearance > Themes, or inspect the wp-content/themes/ directory for the woodmart folder
    Affected if WoodMart theme folder exists in the WordPress themes directory
  2. Identify installed WoodMart version
    Check the style.css file inside wp-content/themes/woodmart/ for the 'Version:' header, or view theme details in WordPress admin under Appearance > Themes
    Affected if A version number is displayed and it is below 8.3.2
  3. Compare version against affected range
    Compare the identified version number to the fixed version 8.3.2 using standard version comparison
    Affected if Installed version is lower than 8.3.2 (e.g., 8.3.1, 8.2.0, older)
  4. Check for suspicious files in theme directory
    Review wp-content/themes/woodmart/ for unfamiliar PHP files, especially in includes/ or files with random-looking names, using file manager or ls command
    Affected if Unknown PHP files exist that were not part of the original theme distribution
  5. Review access logs for LFI exploitation patterns
    Search web server access logs (Apache/nginx) for requests containing '../', '..%2F', or paths like '/wp-content/themes/woodmart/include/' with suspicious file references
    Affected if Logs show requests attempting to include arbitrary files through the theme's include/require functions

If the WoodMart theme is installed and the version is below 8.3.2, the environment is vulnerable to CVE-2025-49935 and should be investigated further.
