CVE-2025-12582

Features <= 0.0.2 - Missing Authorization to Authenticated (Subscriber+) Option Reset

Published Nov 5, 2025 CVSS 3.1 · 4.3 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed

Description

The Features plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the 'features_revert_option AJAX endpoint in all versions up to, and including, 0.0.2. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to revert options.

Analysis

Technical impact

The Features WordPress plugin contains a missing capability check on the "features_revert_option" AJAX endpoint available in all releases up to and including 0.0.2. This flaw permits any authenticated user with a Subscriber role or higher to invoke the endpoint and revert plugin options without proper authorization. The weakness is a classic Missing Authorization error, classified as CWE‑862, resulting in an integrity violation of the site’s configuration.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability exists in all klicher Features WordPress plugin releases up to version 0.0.2. Websites that have not upgraded beyond that version and have Subscriber (or higher) accounts are at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.3 indicates low severity, and the EPSS score of less than 1% shows a very low probability of exploitation. The flaw is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog, implying no widespread exploitation has been reported. An attacker needs only a valid WordPress login with Subscriber or higher permissions and the ability to call the AJAX endpoint; the exploitation consists of sending a request that triggers the revert action.

Affected Products

Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).
