{"cve":"CVE-2025-12641","nvd":{"published":"2026-01-16T05:16:04.500","modified":"2026-06-17T08:32:43.747","status":"Deferred","description":"The Awesome Support - WordPress HelpDesk & Support Plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to missing capability checks in all versions up to, and including, 6.3.6. This is due to the 'wpas_do_mr_activate_user' function not verifying that a user has permission to modify other users' roles, combined with a nonce reuse vulnerability where public registration nonces are valid for privileged actions because all actions share the same nonce namespace. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to demote administrators to low-privilege roles via the 'wpas-do=mr_activate_user' action with a user-controlled 'user_id' parameter, granted they can access the publicly available registration/submit ticket page to extract a valid nonce.","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:L","score":6.5},"cwes":["CWE-862"],"references":["https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/awesome-support/tags/6.3.5/includes/functions-actions.php#L36","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/awesome-support/tags/6.3.5/includes/functions-actions.php#L66","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/awesome-support/tags/6.3.5/includes/functions-user.php#L1686","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/awesome-support/tags/6.3.5/themes/default/registration.php#L183","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3435609/awesome-support/trunk/includes/functions-user.php?contextall=1"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:21:16.563232421+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2025-12641","score":0.00395,"percentile":0.33722,"date":"2026-10-31"},"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).
