What is CVE-2025-2075?
CVE-2025-2075 is a high-severity missing authorization vulnerability in uncannyowl Uncanny Automator – Easy Automation, Integration, Webhooks & Workflow Builder Plugin, published on 4 Apr 2025. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
The Uncanny Automator – Easy Automation, Integration, Webhooks & Workflow Builder Plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 6.3.0.2. This is due to add_role() and user_role() functions missing proper capability checks performed through the validate_rest_call() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to set the role of arbitrary users to administrator granting full access to the site, though privilege escalation requires an active account on the site so this is considered an authenticated privilege escalation.
