CVE-2025-11988Network attack vector

Unauthenticated workflow disruption via limited file deletion

Published Nov 11, 2025 · Updated Nov 11, 2025

Missing authorization in ODude Crypto Tool 2.22 and earlier allows remote attackers to delete plugin workflow files through an AJAX request. The unauthenticated wp_ajax_nopriv_crypto_connect_ajax_process action exposes crypto_delete_json after checking only a publicly available nonce, allowing deletion of *_pending.json files in wp-content/uploads/yak/. No account or user interaction is required; deletion causes data loss and interrupts workflows that depend on those files.
