What is CVE-2025-3609?
CVE-2025-3609 is a medium-severity missing authorization vulnerability in pixel_prime Reales WP STPT, published on 6 May 2025. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official description
The Reales WP STPT plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized user registration in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.2. This is due to the 'reales_user_signup_form' AJAX action not verifying if user registration is enabled, prior to registering a user.
