The Uncode theme for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file read due to insufficient input validation in the 'uncode_recordMedia' function in all versions up to, and including, 2.9.1.6. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to read arbitrary files on the server.
Not sure which version you run? Run a passive check — it reads public files only.
Remediation & mitigations
- Update to version 2.9.1.7, or a newer patched version
- Rotate administrator passwords and application secrets if the site ran a vulnerable version while publicly reachable.
