CVE-2026-6261 Details
Description
The Betheme theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Upload in versions up to, and including, 28.4. This is due to the upload_icons() function workflow moving and unzipping user-controlled ZIP files into a public uploads directory without validating extracted file types. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with author-level access and above, to upload arbitrary files (including PHP) and achieve remote code execution via the Icons icon-pack upload flow.
A vulnerability allowing arbitrary file upload has been identified in the Betheme WordPress theme, affecting versions through 28.4. The issue arises from the upload_icons() function, which improperly handles user-uploaded ZIP files by moving and extracting them into a public uploads directory without validating the file types. This flaw enables authenticated attackers with author-level access or higher to upload arbitrary files, including PHP scripts, which could then be executed remotely. The vulnerability is exploited through the Icons icon-pack upload feature.
Users are advised to update to Betheme version 28.4.1 or a newer patched version.
