AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The CozyStay WordPress theme contains a missing authorization (CWE-862) vulnerability in its ajax_handler function, present in all versions up to and including 1.7.0. This lack of capability checks permits unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary actions, leading to unauthorized modification of data.
