The Swape theme before 1.2.1 for WordPress has incorrect access control, as demonstrated by allowing new administrator accounts via vectors involving xmlPath to wp-admin/admin-ajax.php.
Weakness
The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
