An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2014-4725 exists.\n\nAffected product: n/a. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-4725/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-4725/index.md)","id":"CVE-2014-4725","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-4725/index.md","name":"CVE-2014-4725","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xgmx-rr3c-2xgc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can bypass authentication to upload and execute arbitrary PHP code via a crafted theme in the MailPoet Newsletters plugin.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"mailpoet_newsletters","vendor":"mailpoet"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"The MailPoet Newsletters (wysija-newsletters) plugin before 2.6.7 for WordPress allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary PHP code by uploading a crafted theme using wp-admin/admin-post.php and accessing the theme in wp-content/uploads/wysija/themes/mailp/.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2014-07-01","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":2,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2025-08-15T02:59:12Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/AnotherSec/CVE-2014-4725","stars":2,"title":"MailPoet Newsletters \u003c= Arbitrary File Upload (exploiter)"},{"date":"2014-07-01","kind":"metasploit","ref":"exploit/unix/webapp/wp_wysija_newsletters_upload","stars":null,"title":"Wordpress MailPoet Newsletters (wysija-newsletters) Unauthenticated File Upload"},{"date":"2014-07-07","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"33991","stars":null,"title":"WordPress Plugin MailPoet Newsletters 2.6.8 - 'wysija-newsletters' Arbitrary File Upload (Metasploit)"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-4725","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2014"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"Unspecified vulnerability in the MailPoet Newsletters (wysija-newsletters) plugin before 2.6.8 for WordPress has unspecified impact and attack vectors.","id":"CVE-2014-4726"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-4724"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2014-07-27","related":[{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Unspecified vulnerability in the MailPoet Newsletters (wysija-newsletters) plugin before 2.6.8 for WordPress has unspecified impact and attack vectors.","id":"CVE-2014-4726","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-07-27"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-3907","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-08-26"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"An issue was discovered in the MailPoet Newsletters (aka wysija-newsletters) plugin before 2.8.2 for WordPress.","id":"CVE-2018-20853","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-11-06"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"BSD-3-Clause","name":"Metasploit"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can bypass authentication to upload and execute arbitrary PHP code via a crafted theme in the MailPoet Newsletters plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-4725/"}
