Title
Themeco Cornerstone < 7.8.8 (Premium, bundled with X Theme) - Subscriber+ Arbitrary User Password Hash Disclosure

This affects the premium co Cornerstone page builder distributed bundled with the X , not the unrelated free `cornerstone` Cornerstone WordPress plugin before 7.8.8 (v0.8.x) on the .org repository.
