What the vulnerability does
The Simple Theme Changer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the user_theme_admin, display_method_admin, and set_change_theme_button_name actions actions in all versions up to, and including, 1.0. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to modify the plugin's settings.

A logged-in user with low privileges can change site themes without appropriate permission validation. This allows unauthorized theme alterations that could deface the site or inject malicious content through theme files.
What an attacker can do
Change the site's active theme without proper authorization.
Potential impact on your site
Unauthorized users can alter your site's appearance or inject malicious code via theme modification.
Conditions required to exploit
Attacker must have a low-privilege user account on the site.
