AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is a broken access control issue that allows a WordPress user with a subscriber role to perform actions that should be restricted to higher‑privileged roles. This can lead to unauthorized use of theme features, modification of site content or settings, and compromise of data integrity and confidentiality within the affected WordPress installation.

Affected Systems

The affected product is the WordPress Flatsome theme from UX‑themes. All releases up to and including version 3.20.5 are impacted and must be upgraded.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.3 places this vulnerability in the moderate impact range. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is an authenticated user with subscriber privileges on a WordPress site that has the affected Flatsome theme installed. Exploitation requires only that the user be logged in with the subscriber role; no network or privilege prerequisites beyond this are stated in the description.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Flatsome theme to a version newer than 3.20.5 to remove the vulnerability.
  • If an immediate upgrade is not possible, configure role capabilities so that subscriber users cannot access or invoke the affected functionality, using a role editor plugin or custom access checks.
  • Review and tighten the theme’s internal access control rules to ensure that only authorized roles can perform privileged actions, following the principle of least privilege.
