Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-28990 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: HashThemes Viral Mag. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-28990/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-28990/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-28990","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-28990/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-28990","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-rrj2-pjjj-cxf2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress theme","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated attackers can arbitrarily activate plugins due to missing authorization checks in the Viral Mag WordPress theme.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"Missing Authorization vulnerability in HashThemes Viral Mag allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Viral Mag: from n/a through 1.0.9.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"WordPress Viral Mag theme \u003c= 1.0.9 - Authenticated Arbitrary Plugin Activation Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-28990","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WordPress Order date time for WooCommerce Plugin \u003c= 3.0.19 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-28991"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Happy Addons for Elementor Plugin \u003c= 3.8.2 is vulnerable to Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF)","id":"CVE-2023-28989"},"products":["Viral Mag"],"published":"2024-12-13","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["HashThemes"]},"summary":"Authenticated attackers can arbitrarily activate plugins due to missing authorization checks in the Viral Mag WordPress theme.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-28990/"}
