Technical details
A broken access control vulnerability exists in the Fuelthemes Werkstatt theme for WordPress through version 4.7.2. The issue stems from missing authorization checks (CWE-862) in certain theme functions, which fail to validate the user's permission level before executing actions or returning data. An attacker authenticated with a low-privilege account, such as a Subscriber, can exploit this over the network to access restricted functionality. As of the advisory date, no official patch has been released.
