AI-suggested

Upgrade the Vayu X theme to version 1.0.6 or later where this improper access control vulnerability is fixed. No other mitigation guidance is provided. Until patched, restrict authenticated user roles or disable the vulnerable AJAX action if possible.

Description

The Vayu X WordPress theme before 1.0.6 does not perform any capability check on one of its AJAX actions and exposes the nonce guarding it to every logged-in user, allowing any authenticated user, such as a subscriber, to install and activate any hosted on the WordPress.org repository.
