Executive Summary

CVE-2026-22450 is a Broken Access Control vulnerability in the WordPress Don Peppe Theme (versions up to 1.3). It involves missing authorization or authentication checks in certain functions, allowing a user with low privileges (Subscriber level) to perform actions that should be restricted to higher-privileged users. [1]

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability could allow an unprivileged user to perform unauthorized actions within the Don Peppe theme, potentially leading to unauthorized changes or access. However, it has a low severity impact with a CVSS score of 4.3 and is considered unlikely to be exploited. No official fix is currently available, but mitigation solutions exist. [1]

Mitigation Strategies

Since no official fix or patched version is currently available, immediate mitigation involves restricting Subscriber-level privileges and carefully monitoring user actions to prevent exploitation. Applying Patchstack's recommended mitigation solutions for affected sites is advised to protect against unauthorized actions due to broken access control. [1]
