What is CVE-2025-14608?
CVE-2025-14608 is a medium-severity missing authorization vulnerability in infosatech WP Last Modified Info, published on 14 Feb 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official description
The WP Last Modified Info plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 1.9.5. This is due to the plugin not validating a user's access to a post before modifying its metadata in the 'bulk_save' AJAX action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to update the last modified metadata and lock the modification date of arbitrary posts, including those created by Administrators via the 'post_ids' parameter.
