CVE-2025-11260Network attack vector

Unauthenticated content disclosure via Authorization header presence

Published Nov 13, 2025 · Updated Nov 13, 2025

Protection mechanism failure in WP Headless CMS Framework 1.15 and earlier allows remote attackers to read restricted content. The request authorization path treats the mere presence of an Authorization header as sufficient to bypass WordPress REST API nonce protection. No credentials or user interaction are required; a crafted network request can expose content otherwise blocked by the nonce check.
