Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-22280 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: revmakx DefendWP Firewall. 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-2025-22280/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-22280/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-22280","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-22280/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-22280","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6mj6-gx42-5596"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can bypass access controls in the DefendWP Firewall plugin to perform unauthorized actions due to missing authorization checks.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.6,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"Missing Authorization vulnerability in revmakx DefendWP Firewall defend-wp-firewall allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects DefendWP Firewall: from n/a through \u003c= 1.1.0.","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":"WordPress DefendWP Firewall Plugin \u003c= 1.1.0 - Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-22280","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WordPress Simplish theme \u003c= 2.6.4 - Stored Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-22281"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress JetCompareWishlist plugin \u003c= 1.5.9 - Local File Inclusion vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-22279"},"products":["DefendWP Firewall"],"published":"2025-02-27","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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["revmakx"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass access controls in the DefendWP Firewall plugin to perform unauthorized actions due to missing authorization checks.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-22280/"}
