CVE-2025-10143

The Catch Dark Mode plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 2.0 via the 'catch_dark_mode' shortcode. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to include and execute arbitrary .php files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files. This can be used to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve code execution in cases where .php file types can be uploaded and included.

Summary		(es) El plugin Catch Dark Mode para WordPress es vulnerable a la inclusión local de ficheros en todas las versiones hasta la 2.0, inclusive, a través del shortcode 'catch_dark_mode'. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel Colaborador o superior, incluyan y ejecuten ficheros .php arbitrarios en el servidor, permitiendo la ejecución de cualquier código PHP en esos ficheros. Esto puede usarse para eludir controles de acceso, obtener datos sensibles o lograr la ejecución de código en casos donde los tipos de fichero .php pueden ser subidos e incluidos.
