AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-7049 is an authorization bypass vulnerability in the WPGYM Wordpress plugin caused by insufficient validation of a user-controlled key in the 'MJ_gmgt_gmgt_add_user' function. This allows authenticated users with low privileges (Subscriber and above) to escalate their privileges by changing critical account details of other users, including administrators. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8, reflecting its high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No patch or official fix information is currently provided, and the plugin is not a cloud service, so remediation depends on vendor updates.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated low-privilege user to escalate privileges by modifying email, password, and other details of any user account, including administrators. This compromises account integrity and confidentiality, potentially leading to full system takeover or unauthorized administrative access. The vulnerability affects all plugin versions up to and including 67.7.0.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict plugin access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the plugin if possible. Monitor for updates from dasinfomedia regarding patches or temporary mitigations.
