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 the installed Miraculous theme versionCheck the theme version in the style.css file header located in /wp-content/themes/miraculous/ or via WordPress admin under Appearance > ThemesAffected if The version is lower than 2.1.2 (e.g., 2.1.1, 2.1.0, 2.0.x, 1.x)
-
Locate theme PHP files that handle admin functionalityReview PHP files in /wp-content/themes/miraculous/ that contain admin actions, AJAX handlers, or settings pages (commonly in functions.php, admin.php, or similar files)Affected if Files exist that handle sensitive operations without visible permission checks
-
Search for missing capability checks in admin handlersSearch PHP files for action hooks (add_action) handling admin URLs or AJAX calls, then verify each includes current_user_can() or similar authorization checks before processingAffected if Any admin action handler lacks a current_user_can() or wp_verify_nonce() check before executing sensitive operations
-
Identify publicly accessible sensitive endpointsCheck if theme registers AJAX actions registered with 'nopriv' access (search for 'add_action.*ajax.*nopriv' or 'add_action.*wp_ajax_nopriv') or unprotected front-end files that expose admin-like functionalityAffected if Sensitive theme functions are accessible to unauthenticated users via AJAX or direct file access
You are affected if the Miraculous theme version is below 2.1.2 AND the theme exposes admin functions, AJAX handlers, or settings pages without proper capability/authorization verification.

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.
dbcve · scopedUpgrade to Miraculous version 2.1.2 or later and review all access control configurations to ensure proper authorization checks are enforced on all sensitive endpoints and operations.
2.1.2 or later
- 1. Backup your WordPress site before making any changes
- 2. Navigate to the WordPress admin dashboard
- 3. Go to Appearance > Themes
- 4. Locate the Miraculous theme
- 5. Check if an update to version 2.1.2 or later is available
- 6. If available, update to the latest version (2.1.2 or higher)
- 7. Verify the update was successful and test the site's functionality
