CVE-2025-14741 is a critical security vulnerability identified in the Frontend Admin by DynamiApps plugin for WordPress, present in all versions up to and including 3.28.25. The root cause is a missing authorization check (CWE-862) in the 'delete_object' function, which fails to verify whether the requester has the necessary permissions to perform deletion operations. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary content, including posts, pages, products, taxonomy terms, and even user accounts, leading to significant data integrity and availability issues. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.1, reflecting its critical nature with network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, and no user interaction needed. Exploitation can result in widespread content destruction and potential denial of service on affected WordPress sites. Although no public exploits are currently known, the vulnerability's characteristics make it highly exploitable. The plugin is commonly used in WordPress environments to manage frontend content administration, often in e-commerce and content-heavy websites, increasing the potential impact. The lack of a patch at the time of disclosure necessitates immediate risk mitigation through alternative controls. This vulnerability underscores the importance of proper authorization checks in web application plugins, especially those managing critical content and user data.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-14741 can be severe. The ability for unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary content and user accounts threatens the integrity and availability of websites, potentially causing significant operational disruption. Organizations relying on WordPress for e-commerce, content publishing, or customer engagement may face data loss, reputational damage, and financial losses due to downtime or compromised user trust. The deletion of user accounts can also lead to loss of customer data and complicate recovery efforts. Given the widespread use of WordPress across Europe, especially in countries with strong digital economies and e-commerce sectors, the threat can affect a broad range of industries including retail, media, and public services. Additionally, the ease of exploitation without authentication or user interaction increases the risk of automated attacks and large-scale exploitation campaigns. This vulnerability could also be leveraged as a stepping stone for further attacks if combined with other vulnerabilities or misconfigurations.

1. Immediate mitigation should focus on disabling or removing the Frontend Admin by DynamiApps plugin until a security patch is released. 2. Monitor WordPress installations for unusual deletion activities, especially targeting posts, pages, products, taxonomy terms, and user accounts. 3. Implement Web Application Firewalls (WAF) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious requests targeting the 'delete_object' function or related endpoints. 4. Restrict access to WordPress admin and plugin management interfaces using IP whitelisting or VPNs to reduce exposure. 5. Regularly back up WordPress site data, including database and files, to enable rapid restoration in case of data deletion. 6. Conduct vulnerability scanning and penetration testing focused on authorization checks in plugins. 7. Educate site administrators about the risks of installing unverified plugins and encourage minimal plugin usage. 8. Once a patch is available, apply it promptly and verify the fix through testing. 9. Review and harden WordPress user roles and permissions to limit potential damage from compromised accounts. 10. Maintain an incident response plan tailored to web application compromises to ensure swift recovery.
