How the CVE Works
The vulnerability in The-wound WordPress theme (v0.0.1) stems from insufficient input validation when processing user-supplied parameters used in file inclusion functions. Attackers can manipulate these parameters to traverse directories (e.g., ../../) and force the server to include arbitrary local files (e.g., `/etc/passwd` or WordPress configuration files). This LFI flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to read sensitive system files, potentially leading to further server compromise.
