CVE-2025-14399Network attack vector

Bulk archive creation via missing nonce validation

Published Dec 17, 2025 · Updated Dec 17, 2025

CSRF in WPFactory Download Plugins and Themes Dashboard plugin 1.9.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to create ZIP archives via forged requests. The download_plugin_bulk and download_theme_bulk functions process requests without validating a WordPress nonce and write archives under wp-content/uploads. Exploitation requires an authenticated site administrator to open an attacker-controlled link; the resulting archives expose installed plugin and theme code in a web-accessible directory.
