Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 24 Oct 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-26.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

1. Immediately restrict access to the /wp-content/plugins/quickcreator/dupasrala.txt file by configuring web server rules (e.g., .htaccess or nginx config) to deny public access. 2. Rotate the exposed API key to invalidate any compromised credentials. 3. Monitor WordPress logs and plugin activity for unauthorized post creations or suspicious behavior indicative of exploitation. 4. Disable or uninstall the Quickcreator plugin if it is not essential until a patched version is released. 5. Implement a web application firewall (WAF) with rules to detect and block attempts to access sensitive plugin files or perform unauthorized API actions. 6. Review plugin code and deployment practices to ensure sensitive information is never logged or stored in publicly accessible locations. 7. Keep WordPress core and all plugins updated and subscribe to security advisories for timely patching. 8. Educate site administrators about the risks of exposing API keys and the importance of secure credential management.

Description

The Quickcreator – AI Blog Writer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in versions 0.0.9 to 0.1.17 through the /wp-content/plugins/quickcreator/dupasrala.txt file. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to view the plugin's API key and subsequently use that to perform actions on the site like creating new posts and injecting XSS payloads.

Impact

The primary impact of CVE-2025-11504 is the exposure of the plugin’s API key, which compromises the confidentiality of sensitive credentials. Attackers gaining access to this key can perform unauthorized actions such as creating new posts and injecting malicious content, including XSS payloads, which can lead to further site compromise, defacement, or distribution of malware to site visitors. Although the vulnerability does not directly affect system integrity or availability, the ability to inject malicious content can indirectly harm site integrity and user trust. For organizations relying on the Quickcreator plugin, this can result in reputational damage, potential data leakage, and increased risk of broader attacks leveraging the compromised site. Since the vulnerability requires no authentication or user interaction, it can be exploited at scale by automated scanners, increasing the risk of widespread exploitation. The lack of patches means affected sites remain vulnerable until mitigations are applied.
