CVE-2025-14123 PUBLISHED

Redux Framework <= 4.5.11 – Authenticated (Subscriber+) Privilege Escalation via Users Extension

Assigner: Wordfence
Reserved: 05.12.2025 Published: 09.10.2026 Updated: 09.10.2026

The Redux Framework plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in all versions up to, and including, 4.5.11. This is due to the plugin saving arbitrary meta keys under a registered option name without sufficient capability checks or key allowlist / restrictions. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to set an arbitrary role (e.g., Administrator) when performing a profile update if a plugin or theme using this framework has added at least one user profile field that leverages Redux_Users::set_profile/set_section/set_field.
