What the vulnerability does
The ColorMag theme for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the welcome_notice_import_handler() function in all versions up to, and including, 4.0.19. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to install the ThemeGrill Demo Importer plugin.

The vulnerability requires a valid user account but no special interaction. Site administrators should update to a version newer than 4.0.19 to prevent unauthorized modifications.
What an attacker can do

Potential impact on your site

Conditions required to exploit
