Vulnerability Overview

The TheGem theme for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification and retrieval of data due to a missing capability check on the ajaxApi() function called via an AJAX action in versions up to 5.8.1.1. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to perform several actions like modifying custom fields, theme options, retrieving theme data, and more

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 5.8.1.1, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) The product does not perform an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action.
