CVE-2025-4672:
WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
The Offsprout Page Builder plugin for WordPress contains a Privilege Escalation vulnerability (CVE-2025-4672) discovered on May 30, 2025. The vulnerability affects versions 2.2.1 through 2.15.2 and is caused by improper authorization in the permission_callback() function. The plugin has been temporarily closed since May 29, 2025, pending a full security review (NVD, Wiz).
Technical details
The vulnerability stems from improper authorization controls in the permission_callback() function, which allows authenticated users with Contributor-level access or higher to manipulate user meta data through the WordPress REST API. The vulnerability has been assigned CWE-285 (Improper Authorization) and received a CVSS v3.1 score of 8.8 HIGH with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H (NVD, Wiz).
Impact
The vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access or higher to read, create, update, or delete any user meta data. Most critically, attackers can modify their own wp_capabilities to escalate their privileges to administrator level, effectively gaining full control over the WordPress site (Wiz).
Mitigation and workarounds
The plugin has been temporarily closed as of May 29, 2025, pending a full security review. Site administrators using affected versions should consider disabling the plugin until a patched version is released. Additionally, reviewing user roles and permissions is recommended to identify any potentially compromised accounts (WordPress Plugin).
