Until an official fix is released, it is recommended to restrict access to the vulnerable functionality by disabling or removing the affected theme or limiting plugin installation capabilities to trusted users only. Monitor official Bearsthemes communications for updates and apply patches promptly once available.
Description
The Alone – Charity Multipurpose Non-profit WordPress Theme theme for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to a missing capability check on the alone_import_pack_install_plugin() function in all versions up to, and including, 7.8.3. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to upload zip files containing webshells disguised as plugins from remote locations to achieve remote code execution. CVE-2025-54019 is likely a duplicate of this.
