CVE-2025-14167: CWE-352 Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in akshayshah5189 Remove Post Type Slug
The Remove Post Type Slug plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.2. This is due to incorrect nonce validation logic that uses OR (||) instead of AND (&&), causing the validation to fail when the nonce field is not empty OR when verification fails, rather than when it's empty AND verification fails. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to modify the plugin's post type slug removal settings via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-14167 is a CSRF vulnerability in the Remove Post Type Slug WordPress plugin (up to version 1.0.2) caused by incorrect nonce validation logic. The plugin uses an OR condition rather than an AND condition to check nonce validity, which results in validation passing incorrectly when it should fail. This allows an attacker to craft a forged request that, if executed by an authenticated administrator, can alter the plugin's post type slug removal settings without proper authorization.
Potential Impact
An attacker can modify plugin settings without authentication by exploiting the CSRF vulnerability, potentially altering site behavior related to post type slugs. The vulnerability does not allow direct data disclosure or denial of service but can lead to unauthorized configuration changes. The CVSS score of 4.3 reflects a medium impact primarily on integrity with no impact on confidentiality or availability.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, administrators should avoid clicking on suspicious links and consider disabling or replacing the plugin to prevent exploitation. Implementing additional CSRF protections at the site level may help mitigate risk.
