The DevKit Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in versions up to, and including, 2.3.0. This is due to a missing capability check and missing nonce validation in the DPDEV_install_themes_func() function registered on the wp_ajax_DPDEV_install_themes action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to install arbitrary theme ZIP packages containing PHP files that are extracted into the web-accessible wp-content/themes/ directory, which may make remote code execution possible.
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution is possible in the DevKit Pro WordPress plugin (versions ≤ 2.3.0) by any authenticated user holding Subscriber-level access or higher. The DPDEV_install_themes_func() function, registered on the wp_ajax_DPDEV_install_themes AJAX action, lacks both a WordPress capability check and nonce validation, allowing low-privileged users to upload and extract arbitrary theme ZIP packages - including PHP webshells - into the web-accessible wp-content/themes/ directory. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the attacker to hold a valid WordPress user account at Subscriber level or higher on the target site - unauthenticated exploitation is not possible given PR:L in the CVSS vector. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H is well-calibrated for this vulnerability. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Update DevKit Pro to a version beyond 2.3.0 as soon as the vendor releases a patched build; no specific patched version number has been independently confirmed from the available references at time of analysis - monitor dplugins.com/downloads/ and the Wordfence advisory for confirmation of a fixed release. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: disable the DevKit Pro plugin on all WordPress installations and manually verify that the wp-content/themes/ directory contains no unauthorized or recently-modified PHP files. …
