The Streamit WordPress theme through 4.5.0 does not perform any authorization or nonce verification on one of its unauthenticated AJAX routes, which invokes an attacker-supplied PHP function with an attacker-supplied argument array, allowing unauthenticated attackers to call arbitrary functions (for example to create an administrator account), leading to privilege escalation and remote code execution.

AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated remote code execution in the Streamit WordPress theme (versions up to and including 4.5.0) stems from a missing-authorization AJAX endpoint that invokes an attacker-supplied PHP function with attacker-supplied arguments, letting unauthenticated attackers create administrator accounts and run arbitrary code. Reported by WPScan and tracked as EUVD-2026-50115, it carries a CVSS 9.8 and publicly available exploit code exists, though there is no public exploit identified as being used in active attacks at time of analysis.
Technical ContextAI
Streamit is a premium video/streaming-oriented WordPress theme that registers AJAX handlers via WordPress's admin-ajax.php mechanism using the wp_ajax_nopriv_* hook, which exposes actions to unauthenticated visitors. This is a CWE-94 (Code Injection) flaw: one nopriv AJAX route accepts a PHP function name and an argument array from the request and dispatches them through a variable-function or call_user_func-style invocation without any capability check or nonce (CSRF token) validation. Because WordPress's function space includes primitives like wp_insert_user/wp_create_user and other side-effecting calls, arbitrary-function invocation with controlled arguments is effectively a code-execution and account-provisioning primitive.
RemediationAI
No specific vendor-released patched version is identified in the provided data, so no vendor-released patch is confirmed at time of analysis; consult the WPScan advisory (https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/f85c5da1-412f-4079-8c44-708bc78c2b9b/) and the theme vendor/ThemeForest listing for a release above 4.5.0 and upgrade to it as the primary fix once available. As compensating controls, block or restrict the vulnerable unauthenticated action by adding a WAF/mod_security rule that filters the specific admin-ajax.php action parameter used by this route (trade-off: requires identifying the exact action name from the WPScan writeup and may break legitimate theme AJAX features), restrict access to /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php at the reverse proxy where feasible without breaking front-end functionality, and audit wp_users for unexpected administrator accounts created since exposure, rotating credentials and reviewing installed plugins/files for webshells. If a patched release is not promptly available, switching to an alternate theme or hardening file permissions to prevent PHP writes will reduce the RCE blast radius.
