CVE-2025-14123
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
The Redux Framework plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in all versions up to, and including, 4.5.11. This is due to the plugin saving arbitrary meta keys under a registered option name without sufficient capability checks or key allowlist / restrictions. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to set an arbitrary role (e.g., Administrator) when performing a profile update if a plugin or theme using this framework has added at least one user profile field that leverages Redux_Users::set_profile/set_section/set_field.

"value": "El plugin Redux Framework para WordPress es vulnerable a escalada de privilegios en todas las versiones anteriores o iguales a 4.5.11. Esto se debe a que el plugin guarda claves meta arbitrarias bajo un nombre de opción registrado sin realizar comprobaciones de privilegios suficientes ni aplicar una lista de permitidos o restricciones para las claves. Esta vulnerabilidad permite que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel Suscriptor o superior, establezcan un rol arbitrario (por ejemplo, Administrador) al realizar una actualización de perfil si un plugin o tema que utiliza este framework ha añadido al menos un campo de perfil de usuario que emplea Redux_Users::set_profile/set_section/set_field."
