CVE-2025-30990: CWE-862 Missing Authorization in ThemeHunk ThemeHunk
Missing Authorization vulnerability in ThemeHunk ThemeHunk allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels. This issue affects ThemeHunk: from n/a through 1.1.1.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-30990 is a medium severity vulnerability classified under CWE-862, which pertains to missing authorization in the ThemeHunk product developed by ThemeHunk. This vulnerability arises from incorrectly configured access control security levels, allowing users with limited privileges (requiring at least low-level privileges but no user interaction) to perform actions or access resources beyond their authorization scope. The vulnerability affects versions up to 1.1.1, although the exact affected versions are not explicitly detailed. The CVSS 3.1 score is 4.3, indicating a medium risk level, with an attack vector of network (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), requiring privileges (PR:L), no user interaction (UI:N), unchanged scope (S:U), no confidentiality impact (C:N), low integrity impact (I:L), and no availability impact (A:N). This suggests that an attacker with some level of authenticated access can exploit the vulnerability remotely to perform unauthorized actions that impact the integrity of the system, such as modifying content or configurations without proper authorization checks. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no patches or fixes have been linked yet. The vulnerability is significant because missing authorization can lead to privilege escalation or unauthorized modifications, potentially undermining trust in the affected web themes or platforms using ThemeHunk. Since ThemeHunk is typically used in web environments, the vulnerability could be exploited remotely over the network by authenticated users, increasing the risk in multi-user or shared hosting environments.
Potential Impact
For European organizations, especially those relying on ThemeHunk themes for their websites or web applications, this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized modifications of website content or configurations, potentially damaging brand reputation, causing misinformation, or enabling further attacks such as defacement or injection of malicious content. The integrity impact, while low, can still disrupt business operations or customer trust. Organizations in sectors with high web presence such as e-commerce, media, education, and government could be particularly affected. Since the vulnerability requires some level of authenticated access, insider threats or compromised user accounts could be leveraged to exploit this issue. The lack of confidentiality and availability impact reduces the risk of data leakage or service downtime, but the integrity compromise still poses a significant concern for compliance with European data protection and cybersecurity regulations, such as GDPR and NIS Directive, which emphasize maintaining system integrity and security.
Mitigation Recommendations
European organizations should implement strict access control policies and review user privilege assignments to ensure that only necessary users have authenticated access to ThemeHunk-managed environments. Conduct thorough audits of current ThemeHunk installations to identify affected versions and monitor for updates or patches from the vendor. In the absence of official patches, consider applying compensating controls such as web application firewalls (WAF) with custom rules to detect and block unauthorized modification attempts. Limit the number of users with elevated privileges and enforce strong authentication mechanisms, including multi-factor authentication (MFA), to reduce the risk of compromised accounts. Regularly monitor logs and user activities for suspicious behavior indicative of exploitation attempts. Additionally, organizations should isolate ThemeHunk environments from critical internal systems to contain potential impacts and prepare incident response plans specific to web content integrity breaches.
