AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is a broken access control flaw (CWE‑862) in the Fuelthemes Werkstatt WordPress theme. It allows any logged‑in subscriber to perform actions beyond the permissions normally granted to that role, effectively elevating privileges within the theme's scope.

Affected Systems

The issue impacts the Fuelthemes Werkstatt theme on WordPress sites for all theme versions up to and including 4.7.2, regardless of the WordPress core version.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.3 indicates moderate severity. The EPSS score of less than 1% and absence from the KEV catalog suggest that exploitation is unlikely to be widespread. The flaw appears to be exploitable by any logged‑in subscriber, implying a local account access attack vector rather than remote exploitation.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest update to the Werkstatt theme from Fuelthemes, which removes the broken access‑control flaw.
  • If an update cannot be applied immediately, deactivate the Werkstatt theme or switch to a different non‑vulnerable theme to prevent exploitation.
  • Limit the subscriber role by removing the capability to edit theme options using a role‑management plugin or custom code, effectively preventing subscribers from performing privileged actions.
