This CVE was published May 22, 2026 and is one of 1 known issue for this theme.
Update, patch or deactivate.
Update FastX to a release after 1.0.2, or disable and remove it until a fixed version is available.

Deactivate only when warranted by your risk profile, or when advised by your hosting provider in the limited circumstances where the vulnerability cannot otherwise be mitigated. If you’re unsure which action is appropriate, contact Fused or your hosting provider for guidance.
Technical description
The FastX theme for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized limited plugin installation and activation due to missing capability checks on the 'ultp_install_callback' and 'ultp_activate_callback' functions in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.2. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to install and activate the PostX plugin.
