CVE-2025-66534

Vulnerability

Description The Aisle theme for WordPress, versions up to and including 2.9, suffers from a missing authorization vulnerability. This flaw allows attackers to exploit incorrectly configured access control security levels, potentially enabling unauthorized actions typically reserved for privileged users [1].

Exploitation

Details The vulnerability can be exploited without authentication, as the theme fails to properly verify permissions for certain functions or endpoints. Attackers can send crafted requests to trigger the missing access controls, leading to unauthorized access to restricted functionality or data.

Impact

Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to perform actions such as modifying theme settings, accessing sensitive information, or escalating privileges within the WordPress installation. This can result in partial loss of integrity and confidentiality, as reflected in the CVSS score of 4.3.

Mitigation

The vendor has not released a patched version as of the publication date. Users are advised to update the theme to a newer version if available, or contact the theme developer for a fix. As a workaround, implementing additional access control measures via a security plugin or web application firewall may help mitigate the risk.
