Published: Thu Dec 18 2025 (12/18/2025, 09:21:30 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: kraftplugins
Product: Demo Importer Plus

Description

The Demo Importer Plus plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data, loss of data, and privilege escalation due to a missing capability check on the Ajax::handle_request() function in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.8. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to trigger a full site reset, dropping all database tables except users/usermeta and re-running wp_install(), which also assigns the Administrator role to the attacking subscriber account.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2025-14364 is a high-severity vulnerability in the Demo Importer Plus plugin for WordPress caused by a missing capability check in the Ajax::handle_request() function. This allows authenticated users with low privileges (Subscriber and above) to trigger a full site reset, which drops all database tables except users and usermeta, and re-executes wp_install(). The reinstallation process assigns Administrator privileges to the attacker’s account, enabling privilege escalation and complete site compromise. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 2.0.8. No official patch or remediation has been provided as of the published date.

Potential Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability leads to complete loss of site data except user-related tables, unauthorized modification of data, and privilege escalation by granting Administrator rights to a low-privileged authenticated user. This compromises site integrity, availability, and confidentiality, allowing an attacker to fully control the affected WordPress site.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict Subscriber-level access and above to trusted users only. Monitor for plugin updates from kraftplugins and apply them promptly once available.
