CVE-2025-2238: Odin Design Vikinger

High severity, CVSS 8.8. EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

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.
