Vulnerability
Description CVE-2025-58817 is a missing authorization vulnerability in the SoftMe WordPress theme by desertthemes, affecting versions through 1.1.27. The issue arises from improperly configured access control security levels, allowing exploitation of broken access controls.
Exploitation
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability without authentication by sending crafted requests to the vulnerable theme functions. The attack surface is the WordPress installation with the SoftMe theme active. No special network position is required; the attacker only needs to be able to reach the WordPress site.
