Subscriber Broken Access Control in Flatsome <= 3.20.5 versions.

AnalysisAI

Broken access control in Flatsome WordPress theme versions 3.20.5 and earlier allows authenticated subscriber-level users to access restricted resources or perform actions beyond their intended authorization. The flaw stems from missing authorization checks (CWE-862) on one or more endpoints or actions within the theme, enabling low-privilege WordPress users to retrieve information they should not be permitted to view. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, and exploitation is limited to authenticated users, reducing opportunistic risk.

Technical ContextAI

Flatsome is a multipurpose WooCommerce WordPress theme developed by UX-Themes (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:ux-themes:flatsome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*). The vulnerability is classified under CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), which occurs when code exposes a function, endpoint, or AJAX action without validating whether the requesting user holds the required capability or role. In WordPress themes, this commonly manifests as unprotected admin-ajax.php handlers or REST API endpoints that check only for authentication (i.e., is the user logged in?) without verifying the user's role or capability (i.e., is the subscriber allowed to perform this action?). The CVSS vector confirms network delivery, low complexity, and low-privilege access required, with confidentiality-only impact - consistent with unauthorized read access to restricted theme settings, order data, or configuration values.

RemediationAI

Update the Flatsome theme to a version released after 3.20.5, which should contain the authorization fix per Patchstack's disclosure at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/theme/flatsome/vulnerability/wordpress-flatsome-theme-3-20-5-broken-access-control-vulnerability?_s_id=cve. The exact patched version number has not been independently confirmed from the provided data - verify the changelog on the ThemeForest product page or UX-Themes support portal before deploying. As a compensating control pending upgrade, site administrators should disable open user registration (Settings > General > uncheck 'Anyone can register') to prevent untrusted parties from obtaining subscriber accounts; note this will break WooCommerce customer self-registration if enabled. Additionally, a Web Application Firewall rule restricting unauthenticated and low-privilege access to sensitive AJAX endpoints can reduce exposure, though the specific vulnerable endpoint is not identified in available data.
