Mikado-Themes — Vulnerabilities & Security Advisories 81

Mikado-Themes operates as a provider of WordPress themes and plugins, primarily targeting e-commerce and general website design. Security audits have identified seventy confirmed Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) associated with its software ecosystem. Historically, these vulnerabilities predominantly stem from insufficient input validation and improper access controls, resulting in critical classes such as Remote Code Execution (RCE), Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), and SQL Injection. Privilege escalation flaws have also been documented, allowing unauthorized users to gain administrative access. While specific high-profile incidents involving widespread data breaches are not widely publicized, the sheer volume of CVEs indicates systemic issues in the development lifecycle. The lack of robust sanitization in theme functions has consistently exposed user data and server integrity to exploitation. This pattern suggests that security testing was not a primary focus during the software’s creation, leaving numerous installations vulnerable to automated attacks and manual exploitation by threat actors seeking to compromise WordPress-based infrastructure.
