CVSS v3.1
Official Description
Vulnerable versions of the JupiterX Theme (<=2.0.6) allow any logged-in user, including subscriber-level users, to access any of the functions registered in lib/api/api/ajax.php, which also grant access to the jupiterx_api_ajax_ actions registered by the JupiterX Core Plugin (<=2.0.6). This includes the ability to deactivate arbitrary plugins as well as update the theme’s API key.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2022-1656 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
