CVE-2025-14168: CWE-352 Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in wpmaniax WP DB Booster
The WP DB Booster plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.1. This is due to missing nonce validation on the cleanup_all AJAX action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete database records including post drafts, revisions, comments, and metadata 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-2025-14168 is a CSRF vulnerability in the WP DB Booster plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to 1.0.1. The issue arises because the plugin does not validate a nonce token on the cleanup_all AJAX action, enabling attackers to forge requests that cause deletion of various database records if an administrator is tricked into executing the action. This vulnerability requires user interaction (UI:R) but no privileges (PR:N) and can be exploited remotely (AV:N).
Potential Impact
An attacker can cause deletion of database records including post drafts, revisions, comments, and metadata by exploiting this CSRF vulnerability. This can result in loss of content and data integrity issues on affected WordPress sites using the vulnerable plugin version. There is no indication of confidentiality or availability impact.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, administrators should avoid clicking on untrusted links while logged into WordPress with administrative privileges and consider disabling or removing the WP DB Booster plugin if possible.
