Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

Code injection vulnerability in the Beplusthemes Alone theme allows attackers to inject and execute arbitrary code on the server. This improper control of code generation (CWE-94) affects versions prior to 7.8.5 and could lead to complete system compromise.

MitigationUpdate the Alone theme to version 7.8.5 or later. If immediate updating is not feasible, disable the theme and implement strict input validation/sanitization on all user-supplied data until the patch can be applied.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Locate the Alone theme installation
    Check the wp-content/themes/alone directory, or view the theme in WordPress Admin under Appearance > Themes
    Affected if The Alone theme by Beplusthemes is installed on the WordPress site
  2. Identify the installed theme version
    Open the style.css file in the theme directory and locate the 'Version:' header field, or check the theme version in WordPress Admin theme details panel
    Affected if The version number is lower than 7.8.5 (e.g., 7.8.4, 7.8.0, 7.7.x, etc.)
  3. Verify the theme is active
    Check WordPress Admin > Appearance > Themes to see if Alone is the currently active theme
    Affected if The Alone theme is activated and serving pages on the site
  4. Inspect for unauthorized code execution indicators
    Review theme PHP files (especially functions.php, header.php, footer.php) for base64_decode, eval, shell_exec, system, passthru, or similar suspicious function calls that do not match theme documentation
    Affected if Unexpected code execution functions or obfuscated code is present in theme files
  5. Check for new or modified theme files
    Compare theme files against a known clean backup or the official Beplusthemes distribution, focusing on PHP files in the theme root and includes/ folder
    Affected if Files differ from the official theme distribution or show recent unauthorized modifications

The site is affected if the Beplusthemes Alone theme is installed with a version lower than 7.8.5 and the theme is active on the WordPress site.

  1. 1. Backup your WordPress site and database before proceeding with any updates
  2. 2. Navigate to your WordPress admin dashboard
  3. 3. Go to Appearance > Themes
  4. 4. Locate the Alone theme by Beplusthemes
  5. 5. Check if an update is available for the Alone theme
