Impact

The Zegen - Church WordPress Theme contains a missing capability check on several AJAX endpoints. This flaw allows any authenticated user with Subscriber-level access or higher to import, export, and update theme options. The weakness corresponds to CWE-862, lacking proper authorization enforcement. An attacker can import, export, and update theme options.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the Zegen - Church WordPress Theme delivered by zozothemes. All releases up to and including version 1.1.9 are impacted, including any WordPress site that has installed these versions of the theme.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.3 places this issue in the moderate severity range, indicating that while it does not enable full code execution, it grants significant administrative control over theme configuration. The EPSS score of less than 1% shows a very low probability of exploitation in the wild, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack vector is inferred to be an authenticated user; an attacker must first obtain legitimate login credentials or a session cookie to benefit from the missing authorization. Once authenticated, the attacker can exploit the unprotected AJAX endpoints to alter theme options.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the Zegen - Church WordPress Theme to the latest released version that includes the missing capability check.
  • If an update is not immediately available, restrict Subscriber-level users from accessing the WordPress administrative area or remove the AJAX endpoints temporarily via custom code or a security plugin.
  • Audit all theme options for unexpected changes and restore any configurations that have been tampered with.
  • Monitor site logs for unusual activity on theme‑related AJAX endpoints and keep an eye on any future updates from zozothemes that address this flaw.
