The JNews - WordPress Newspaper Magazine Blog AMP Theme theme for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized user registration in all versions up to, and including, 11.6.6. This is due to the plugin not properly validate if the user can register option is enabled prior to creating a user though the register_handler() function.
