Vulnerability Overview

The Himer theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.0 via the wpqa_accept_invite AJAX action due to missing validation on a user controlled key. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to join private groups.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 2.1.1, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key) The system's authorization functionality does not prevent one user from gaining access to another user's data or record by modifying the key value identifying the data.
