I bought a WP theme 6 months ago and recently noticed that according to ahrefs my site has 90 backlinks with a score of 0-10. Backlinks are from unrelated spammy sites. Should I worry that it affects my rankings and use the Google disavow tool?

Or should i only do something when the spam score is higher?

Please advice

You should definitely avoid such backlinks. Google might think you're using PBN to promote your new site.

ignore them all... dont even look at what ahref tells you.... only care about GSC

what ever you do, don't use disavow tool. you will hurt your ranking. google pretty much ignores shitty links these days.
 
Use disavow if the links are from adult or gambling sites or else just ignore
 
Yep, simply ignoring them might be a good idea. They are not going to hurt your website. Google is trained to understand that such backlinks are not built by an owner of the website.
Why do you think that these links appeared because of WP theme? It has nothing to do with a new WP theme, I guess. There can be some automatically generated backlinks, especially if your website has already got some ranks and traffic.
 
they might still help you rank. 90 links isnt that much really.
 
As most of the users did mention, such links wouldn't have any kind of impact,
So, disavowing them or not doesn't really matter and I wouldn't bother with these, especially for a few of them
 
Just ignore it.
Spam score means jack
Until google says there something wrong, there no need to tell google
HEY GOOGLE I MESSED UP I THINK, PLZ DONT COUNT THESE CRAPPY LINKS
 
You should use disavow tool and upload all the url to google search console. If backlink is spammy then they may harm your ranking. So, I advised you to disavow links as soon as possible.
