Exploitation Probability (EPSS)

Low risk
0.65%

49th percentile - higher than 49% of all known CVEs

Summary

The DevKit Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in versions up to, and including, 2.3.0. This is due to a missing capability check and missing nonce validation in the DPDEV_install_themes_func() function registered on the wp_ajax_DPDEV_install_themes action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to install arbitrary theme ZIP packages containing PHP files that are extracted into the web-accessible wp-content/themes/ directory, which may make remote code execution possible.

Risk Assessment

An authenticated low-privileged user can install a malicious theme with PHP code, leading to remote code execution and full site compromise.

Recommendation

Update the DevKit Pro plugin to a version newer than 2.3.0. Restrict access to the theme installation function to trusted administrators only.
