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 · unedited
Missing Authorization vulnerability in raratheme Ridhi ridhi allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Ridhi: from n/a through <= 1.1.2.

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

Missing Authorization vulnerability in the Ridhi WordPress theme allows attackers to exploit incorrectly configured access control security levels. The theme <= 1.1.2 has improper access control checks that enable unauthorized access to certain functionality or administrative features.

MitigationUpdate Ridhi theme to version 1.1.3 or later which contains proper authorization controls. If no update is available, conduct code review to identify and add appropriate capability checks and nonce validations to all AJAX handlers and admin functions.

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. Check installed Ridhi theme version
    In WordPress admin, go to Appearance > Themes and click on the Ridhi theme to view its details, or access /wp-content/themes/ridhi/style.css and locate the Version: field in the theme header comments
    Affected if The version displayed is 1.1.2 or lower
  2. Identify AJAX handlers in theme
    Search the theme directory /wp-content/themes/ridhi/ for PHP files containing 'add_action' hooks with 'wp_ajax_' or 'wp_ajax_nopriv_' to locate AJAX endpoints
    Affected if AJAX handlers exist and are accessible without capability checks or nonce validation (requires code review of each handler)
  3. Review admin function access controls
    Search theme PHP files for functions hooked to admin_init, admin_menu, or other admin-only hooks and verify each has current_user_can() capability checks before execution
    Affected if Any admin functions lack proper current_user_can() validation
  4. Check for nonce validation in theme actions
    Search theme PHP files for form submissions and AJAX calls, verifying that wp_verify_nonce() or check_ajax_referer() is called before processing requests
    Affected if Theme contains actions or AJAX handlers that process requests without nonce verification

You are affected if the Ridhi theme version is 1.1.2 or lower AND the theme exposes admin functionality or AJAX handlers without proper capability checks and nonce validation.

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 data
Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Update Ridhi theme to version 1.1.3 or later which contains proper authorization controls. If no update is available, conduct code review to identify and add appropriate capability checks and nonce validations to all AJAX handlers and admin functions.
