An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-7499 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: wpdevteam BetterDocs –  Knowledge Base Docs \u0026 FAQ Solution for Elementor \u0026 Block Editor. 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-2025-7499/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-7499/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-7499","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-7499/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-7499","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-794g-99g6-6855"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can retrieve passwords for protected documents and metadata for private or draft posts in the BetterDocs WordPress plugin.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Wordfence","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"The BetterDocs – Advanced AI-Driven Documentation, FAQ \u0026 Knowledge Base Tool for Elementor \u0026 Gutenberg with Encyclopedia, AI Support, Instant Answers plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the get_response function in all versions up to and including 4.1.1.
