Until a fix is available, restrict authenticated user roles to trusted individuals only. Monitor official ThemeMakers communications for updates or patches addressing this vulnerability. Avoid granting subscriber-level or higher access to untrusted users.

Description

The Cardealer theme for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in versions up to, and including, 1.6.4 due to missing capability check on the 'save_settings' function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to modify the default user role.
