CVE-2025-2238 Information

Description

The Vikinger theme for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege in all versions up to and including 1.9.30. This is due to insufficient user_meta restrictions in the ‘vikinger_user_meta_update_ajax’ function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access and above to escalate their privileges to Administrator-level.
