CVE-2025-9114: 
WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation

The Doccure theme for WordPress (CVE-2025-9114) is a critical security vulnerability discovered and disclosed on September 8, 2025, affecting versions up to and including 1.4.8. This vulnerability allows for Arbitrary User Password Change functionality, impacting WordPress installations using the Doccure medical theme (NVD, AttackerKB).

The vulnerability stems from the plugin providing user-controlled access to objects, which enables bypass of authorization mechanisms to access system resources. The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (Critical) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, indicating network accessibility, low attack complexity, no privileges required, and no user interaction needed (NVD, AttackerKB).

The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to change user passwords and potentially take over administrator accounts, leading to complete system compromise. This could result in unauthorized access to sensitive medical data, system modifications, and full administrative control of the WordPress installation (NVD).

Users of the Doccure WordPress theme should immediately upgrade to a version newer than 1.4.8 if available. Until a patch is applied, it is recommended to implement additional security controls such as web application firewalls and restrict access to WordPress authentication endpoints (Wordfence).
