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-2025-12963 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: lazycoders LazyTasks – Project \u0026 Task Management with Collaboration, Kanban and Gantt Chart. 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-2025-12963/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-12963/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-12963","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-12963/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-12963","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2729-w29v-p8pm"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can modify user emails via an insecure REST API endpoint to reset passwords and take over accounts, including administrators.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Wordfence","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"The LazyTasks – Project \u0026 Task Management with Collaboration, Kanban and Gantt Chart plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.29. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user's identity via the 'wp-json/lazytasks/api/v1/user/role/edit/' REST API endpoint prior to updating their details like email address. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change arbitrary user's email addresses, including administrators, and leverage that to reset the user's password and gain access to their account. It is also possible for attackers to abuse this endpoint to grant users with access to additional roles within the plugin","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":"Missing authorization in LazyTasks – Project \u0026 Task Management with Collaboration, Kanban and Gantt Chart","id":"CVE-2025-12963","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Magical Shop Builder – WooCommerce Template Builder for Elementor | Shop, Cart, Checkout \u0026 Product Page Builder","id":"CVE-2025-12964"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Local Syndication \u003c= 1.5a - Authenticated (Contributor+) Server-Side Request Forgery via Shortcode","id":"CVE-2025-12962"},"products":["LazyTasks – Project \u0026 Task Management with Collaboration, Kanban and Gantt Chart"],"published":"2025-12-12","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":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-08","vendors":["lazycoders"]},"summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can modify user emails via an insecure REST API endpoint to reset passwords and take over accounts, including administrators.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-12963/"}
