CVE-2025-57995: 
WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation

CVE-2025-57995 is a Missing Authorization vulnerability in the DethemeKit For Elementor WordPress plugin by Detheme. It allows authenticated attackers with low-level privileges to exploit incorrectly configured access control security levels. The vulnerability affects all versions of the plugin from n/a through 2.1.10 (inclusive). It was published on September 22, 2025, and carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 4.3 (Medium) (Feedly, Patchstack).

The root cause is classified as CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), meaning the plugin fails to properly verify that a requesting user has the necessary permissions before performing certain actions. The attack vector is network-based, requires low privileges (authenticated user), low attack complexity, and no user interaction. An attacker with a basic WordPress account (e.g., subscriber role) can send crafted requests to plugin endpoints that lack proper capability checks, resulting in unauthorized low-integrity actions (Feedly).

Successful exploitation results in a limited integrity impact — an authenticated low-privileged attacker can perform unauthorized actions within the WordPress site that should be restricted to higher-privileged roles. There is no confidentiality or availability impact associated with this vulnerability. The scope is unchanged, meaning the impact is confined to the vulnerable component itself without enabling broader system compromise or lateral movement (Feedly).

No public proof-of-concept exploit code or evidence of in-the-wild exploitation has been reported for CVE-2025-57995. The EPSS score is approximately 0.029%, indicating a very low probability of exploitation in the near term. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. Exploitation requires at minimum a low-privileged authenticated account on the target WordPress installation (Feedly).

Users should update the DethemeKit For Elementor plugin to a version beyond 2.1.10 that includes the authorization fix. Until a patched version is available or confirmed, site administrators should consider restricting plugin functionality to trusted roles only, auditing user accounts with low-privilege access, and using a WordPress security plugin (e.g., Wordfence, Patchstack) to virtually patch the vulnerability. Monitor the official WordPress plugin repository and Patchstack for patch release announcements (Patchstack).
