1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Impact | Risk assessment integrates multiple signals: CVSS 5.3 (Network vector, Low complexity, No privilege required, confidentiality impact, no integrity/availability impact) indicates a moderate baseline severity for remote information disclosure. However, EPSS score of 0.02% (percentile 4%) reflects very low real-world exploitation probability, placing this in the lowest quartile of exploitability despite the moderate CVSS. CISA SSVC framework confirms this low urgency: exploitation status is 'none' (no active exploitation observed), automatable impact is 'no' (likely requires manual interaction or specific configuration), and technical impact is only 'partial' (limited to information disclosure, no system compromise). The contradiction between CVSS and EPSS/SSVC is typical of authorization vulnerabilities affecting shared hosting and WordPress themes-high CVSS due to unauthenticated network access, but low real exploitation due to theme-specific context and configuration requirements. This is a real but low-priority vulnerability suitable for routine patching schedules rather than emergency response. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated remote attacker could enumerate or directly access G5Plus April theme resources intended to be restricted to authenticated users or specific roles (e.g., administrative pages, user data, or settings pages), extracting information such as theme configuration details or potentially sensitive metadata. Exploitation requires only network access and knowledge of the vulnerable resource path; the low EPSS score suggests this attack is rarely observed in practice and likely requires specific or outdated theme configurations to succeed. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Apr 08, 2026
G5Plus April WordPress theme versions up to 6.8 contain a missing authorization vulnerability allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to access resources with restricted access control levels, resulting in limited information disclosure. The vulnerability affects the theme's broken access control mechanism and has a low exploitation probability (EPSS 0.02%, percentile 4%) with no public exploit identified at time of analysis, though CISA SSVC assessment indicates partial technical impact from non-automatable exploitation.
RemediationAI
Update G5Plus April theme to a patched version released after 6.8 per the Patchstack advisory. WordPress administrators should navigate to Appearance > Themes in the WordPress dashboard, identify G5Plus April, and apply the available update when released. Until patching is available, site administrators should review access control settings and verify that restricted content areas are properly protected through additional WordPress role and capability checks independent of theme-level access control. For detailed remediation guidance, consult the Patchstack vulnerability advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Theme/g5plus-april/vulnerability/wordpress-g5plus-april-theme-6-8-broken-access-control-vulnerability and the NVD listing at https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-39714.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability stems from CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), a fundamental access control weakness where the G5Plus April WordPress theme fails to properly enforce authorization checks on restricted resources. WordPress themes are server-side code that define site presentation and functionality; improper access control in theme code can expose administrative or sensitive content to unauthenticated users. The theme's access control security levels are incorrectly configured, meaning the theme likely lacks proper privilege verification before serving restricted content. This differs from authentication bypass in that users need not assume a valid identity-they simply access resources the theme should restrict based on role or capability.
