Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-11172 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: plagiarismchecker Check Plagiarism. 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-2025-11172/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-11172/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-11172","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-11172/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-11172","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wcq9-qf8h-vcj9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated subscribers can update the plugin's API key due to missing capability checks, allowing unauthorized configuration changes.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Wordfence","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"The Check Plagiarism plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the chk_plag_mine_plugin_wpse10500_admin_action() function in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.
