CVE-2025-1682

Summary

CVE-2025-1682 is a privilege escalation vulnerability affecting the Cardealer theme for WordPress. Versions up to and including 1.6.4 are impacted by this issue. The 'save_settings' function in these versions lacks a necessary capability check, enabling authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access or higher to modify the default user role. This oversight could potentially lead to unintended consequences, such as gaining unauthorized access or manipulating user permissions. WordPress users running the Cardealer theme should update to the latest version to mitigate this risk.
