CVE-2025-0951: CWE-862 Missing Authorization in LiquidThemes AI Hub - Startup & Technology WordPress Theme
Multiple plugins and/or themes for WordPress by LiquidThemes are vulnerable to unauthorized access due to a missing capability check on the liquid_reset_wordpress_before AJAX in various versions. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to deactivate all of a site's plugins. While we escalated this to Envato after not being able to establish contact, it appears the developer added a nonce check, however that is not sufficient protection as the nonce is exposed to all users with access to the dashboard.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
Multiple LiquidThemes WordPress plugins and themes, including AI Hub - Startup & Technology, suffer from a missing authorization (CWE-862) vulnerability in the liquid_reset_wordpress_before AJAX action. This flaw permits authenticated users with low privileges (Subscriber and above) to deactivate all site plugins without proper capability verification. The developer attempted mitigation by adding a nonce check; however, since the nonce is exposed to all dashboard users, it does not effectively prevent exploitation. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.3 (medium), reflecting low attack complexity and privileges required but limited impact (integrity loss only). No official patch or vendor advisory is currently available.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Subscriber-level access or higher can exploit this vulnerability to deactivate all plugins on a WordPress site using the affected LiquidThemes products. This results in an integrity impact by disrupting plugin functionality but does not affect confidentiality or availability. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — no official fix or vendor advisory is available. The developer's nonce check is insufficient protection. Site administrators should restrict Subscriber-level access carefully and monitor for suspicious activity. Await official vendor updates or patches from LiquidThemes or Envato for a proper fix before relying on nonce checks alone.
