CVE-2025-10720: 
WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation

The WP Private Content Plus plugin through version 3.6.2 contains a password protection bypass vulnerability (CVE-2025-10720). The vulnerability was discovered and publicly disclosed on September 19, 2025. The affected component is the global content protection feature that implements password-based access control (NVD, WPScan).

The vulnerability stems from an improper implementation of access control that relies solely on an unprotected client-side cookie. When the global password protection feature is enabled, the plugin verifies access by checking for the presence of a specific cookie value rather than implementing proper server-side authentication mechanisms (WPScan).

This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to bypass the password protection mechanism completely, gaining unauthorized access to protected content. The impact is significant as it effectively nullifies the password protection feature intended to restrict access to sensitive or private content (NVD).

Currently, there is no known fix available for this vulnerability. Users of WP Private Content Plus should consider implementing alternative security measures or using a different solution for content protection until a patch is released (WPScan).
