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

The AgniHD Cartify WordPress theme (versions up to 1.3) contains a missing authorization vulnerability allowing attackers to exploit incorrectly configured access control security levels. This likely enables unauthorized access to administrative functions or sensitive WooCommerce data without proper privilege verification.

MitigationApply the vendor patch when available; in the interim, restrict administrative access to trusted users only and audit theme functions for missing capability checks.

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. Confirm Cartify theme is installed
    Navigate to Appearance > Themes in WordPress admin dashboard and check if the Cartify theme by AgniHD is active or installed
    Affected if The Cartify theme by AgniHD is present in the WordPress installation
  2. Identify the installed version
    Check the theme's style.css file in wp-content/themes/cartify/ or view the theme details in WordPress admin under Appearance > Themes > Theme Details
    Affected if The version is 1.3 or lower (including any 1.x version up to 1.3)
  3. Verify WooCommerce is active
    Check if WooCommerce plugin is installed and active under Plugins > Installed Plugins in WordPress admin
    Affected if WooCommerce is installed and active, exposing the sensitive data mentioned in the CVE
  4. Inspect theme files for admin functions
    Examine PHP files in wp-content/themes/cartify/ for functions that handle admin operations, particularly in includes/ or admin/ folders. Look for PHP functions without current_user_can() or similar capability checks
    Affected if Theme files contain admin-handling functions that lack proper authorization checks (missing current_user_can() calls before sensitive operations)

You are affected if the Cartify theme version 1.3 or lower is installed alongside WooCommerce, and the theme contains admin functions without proper capability verification.
