DescriptionCVE.org

Missing Authorization vulnerability in UX-themes Flatsome flatsome allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Flatsome: from n/a through <= 3.19.6.

AnalysisAI

Insufficient authorization controls in Flatsome theme versions 3.19.6 and earlier allow unauthenticated remote attackers to modify data through improperly configured access restrictions. The vulnerability enables unauthorized modifications without requiring user interaction, potentially compromising content integrity across affected websites.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability stems from CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), a class of access control defects where the application fails to properly verify user permissions before granting access to sensitive operations. In the context of the Flatsome theme (CPE identifiable as a WordPress theme component within WooCommerce/WordPress ecosystem), the flaw manifests as incorrectly configured access control security levels that allow unauthenticated or insufficiently privileged users to perform content modification operations. WordPress themes typically rely on WordPress's built-in capability system (wp_current_user(), current_user_can()), nonce verification, and role-based access control; this vulnerability indicates the Flatsome theme failed to properly implement one or more of these authorization checks in its custom functionality, potentially in AJAX endpoints, REST API routes, or theme-specific admin operations.

RemediationAI

Immediately upgrade the Flatsome theme to version 3.19.7 or later via WordPress Admin Dashboard (Appearance > Themes > Flatsome > Update if available), or download the patched version directly from the UX-themes store/marketplace. Verify the update was successful by confirming the version number in theme settings. As an interim measure on systems where immediate patching is not feasible, restrict WordPress administrative and content editing access to trusted IP ranges via firewall or .htaccess rules, disable REST API endpoints if not required (add define('REST_API_ENABLED', false); to wp-config.php), and audit user roles/capabilities to ensure only necessary accounts have content modification permissions. Monitor WordPress audit logs (via security plugins like Wordfence or Sucuri) for unauthorized modification attempts while the patch is being deployed.
