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-2025-14998 exists.\n\nAffected product: wpmudev Branda – White Label \u0026 Branding, Free Login Page Customizer. 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-2025-14998/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-14998/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-14998","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-14998/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-14998","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pqf3-28pm-5446"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["account_takeover","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can change arbitrary user passwords, including administrators, to gain unauthorized access and escalate privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"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-639","name":"Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key"}],"description":"The Branda plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 3.4.24.
