CVE-2025-14976Public exploitNetwork attack vectorHinoki check available

Post deletion via missing action nonce validation

Published Jan 10, 2026 · Updated Jan 10, 2026

Cross-site request forgery in WPEverest User Registration & Membership 4.4.8 and earlier allows remote attackers to delete arbitrary posts. The process_row_actions handler accepts delete, trash and untrash requests without check_admin_referer nonce validation before changing posts. Exploitation requires a logged-in administrator with the needed post capability to follow a crafted link or submit a forged form, limiting impact to post deletion or status changes.
