{"cve":"CVE-2025-10745","nvd":{"published":"2025-09-26T04:15:55.837","modified":"2026-10-11T20:10:00.200","status":"Deferred","description":"The Banhammer – Monitor Site Traffic, Block Bad Users and Bots plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Blocking Bypass in all versions up to, and including, 3.4.8. This is due to a site-wide “secret key” being deterministically generated from a constant character set using md5() and base64_encode() and then stored in the `banhammer_secret_key` option. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to bypass the plugin’s logging and blocking by appending a GET parameter named `banhammer-process_{SECRET}` where `{SECRET}` is the predictable value, thereby causing Banhammer to abort its protections for that request.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","score":5.3},"cwes":["CWE-330"],"references":["https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/banhammer/trunk/inc/banhammer-core.php#L101","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/banhammer/trunk/inc/banhammer-functions.php#L336","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?sfp_email=&sfph_mail=&reponame=&old=3365087%40banhammer&new=3365087%40banhammer&sfp_email=&sfph_mail=","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?sfp_email=&sfph_mail=&reponame=&old=3365979%40banhammer&new=3365979%40banhammer&sfp_email=&sfph_mail=","https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/97c46a13-6981-426f-b24a-c9820657042f?source=cve"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:10:08.713834912+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2025-10745","score":0.00367,"percentile":0.30297,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
