AI Analysis

Impact

The Inspiro WordPress theme contains a missing nonce check in its plugin installer. This flaw permits an unauthenticated attacker to forge a request that, when executed by a logged‑in administrator, causes the theme to install any plugin from the repository. The result is arbitrary plugin installation, which can introduce malicious code into the site. The vulnerability is categorized as a Cross‑Site Request Forgery, listed as CWE‑352.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites that use the Inspiro theme version 2.1.2 or any earlier release are affected. The issue persists in all builds up to and including 2.1.2; the 2.1.3 release contains the fix that restores proper nonce validation. Site administrators should verify the theme version and upgrade promptly if they are on an impacted release.

Risk and Exploitability

The flaw carries a CVSS score of 8.1, classifying it as high severity. The EPSS score is below 1%, indicating a low likelihood that the vulnerability is actively exploited, and it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog. An attacker can exploit it by sending a crafted link to an administrator, which, when clicked, initiates the vulnerable function. The required exploit is web‑based and relies on user interaction; thus sites with exposed administrative interfaces are realistic targets.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the Inspiro theme to version 2.1.3 or later, which corrects the nonce validation in the plugin installer.
  • If an immediate upgrade is not possible, add define('DISALLOW_FILE_MODS', true); to wp‑config.php to block plugin installation and updates, disabling the vulnerable function.
  • Educate site administrators to recognize and avoid phishing attempts that require them to click suspicious links, reducing the chance that an attacker can trick them into executing the request.
