An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-12641 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: awesomesupport Awesome Support – WordPress HelpDesk \u0026 Support Plugin. 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-2025-12641/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-12641/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-12641","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-12641/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-12641","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pvj6-qhmr-8x6j"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can demote administrators to low-privilege roles by exploiting missing capability checks and nonce reuse in the Awesome Support plugin.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Wordfence","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"The Awesome Support - WordPress HelpDesk \u0026 Support Plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to missing capability checks in all versions up to, and including, 6.3.6. This is due to the 'wpas_do_mr_activate_user' function not verifying that a user has permission to modify other users' roles, combined with a nonce reuse vulnerability where public registration nonces are valid for privileged actions because all actions share the same nonce namespace. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to demote administrators to low-privilege roles via the 'wpas-do=mr_activate_user' action with a user-controlled 'user_id' parameter, granted they can access the publicly available registration/submit ticket page to extract a valid nonce.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Awesome Support – WordPress HelpDesk \u0026 Support Plugin \u003c= 6.3.6 - Missing Authorization to Unauthenticated Role Demotion","id":"CVE-2025-12641","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"HTTP Header Smuggling via Trailer Merge","id":"CVE-2025-12642"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Missing authorization in Folders – Unlimited Folders to Organize Media Library Folder, Pages, Posts, File Manager","id":"CVE-2025-12640"},"products":["Awesome Support – WordPress HelpDesk \u0026 Support Plugin"],"published":"2026-01-16","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-08","vendors":["awesomesupport"]},"summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can demote administrators to low-privilege roles by exploiting missing capability checks and nonce reuse in the Awesome Support plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-12641/"}
