CVE-2025-62100
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedMissing Authorization vulnerability in themerain ThemeRain Core themerain-core allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects ThemeRain Core: from n/a through <= 1.1.9.
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 confidenceThis is a missing authorization vulnerability in ThemeRain Core (themerain-core) where the plugin fails to properly enforce access control checks, allowing attackers to exploit incorrectly configured security levels to access functionality they should not have permission to use.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify themerain-core installation and versionSearch for themerain-core files in your plugins or themes directory and note the installed version numberAffected if The installed version has not received a security patch for CVE-2025-62100 and contains the missing authorization flaw
-
Review admin action handlers for capability checksInspect PHP files in the themerain-core package for admin action handlers (functions hooked to admin_init, wp_ajax, or similar) and verify they call current_user_can() or equivalent permission checks before executing sensitive operationsAffected if Any admin action handlers execute sensitive operations without verifying user capabilities or roles first
-
Examine AJAX endpoints for authorizationLocate AJAX action callbacks (wp_ajax_* hooks) in themerain-core and check if they validate user permissions or nonces before processing requestsAffected if AJAX endpoints process requests without proper capability verification or nonce validation
-
Check API routes or public endpoints for access controlReview any custom REST API routes or public-facing endpoints exposed by themerain-core and determine if they enforce role-based access restrictionsAffected if API routes or endpoints allow unauthorized access to privileged functionality based on incorrect security level configuration
-
Audit user role and permission assignmentsIf themerain-core defines custom roles or modifies default WordPress roles, verify that sensitive capabilities are only assigned to appropriate user rolesAffected if The plugin incorrectly assigns elevated capabilities to lower-privileged roles, enabling unauthorized access
You are affected if themerain-core is installed without the CVE-2025-62100 patch and sensitive operations lack proper capability or role-based access control checks.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImplement proper capability checks and role-based access control (RBAC) verification before executing sensitive operations; ensure all admin actions require appropriate user permissions and nonce validation.
