CVE-2025-14062 describes a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability affecting the Animated Pixel Marquee Creator plugin for WordPress. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to delete marquees if they can manipulate a site administrator into performing a forged action. The vulnerability impacts versions 1.0.0 and earlier, and a fix is expected to be released by the vendor.
The primary impact of this CSRF vulnerability is the unauthorized deletion of marquees within the WordPress site. An attacker could craft a malicious link that, when clicked by an administrator, triggers the deletion of marquees without the administrator's explicit consent. This could lead to data loss, disruption of site functionality, and potential defacement if marquees contain important information. While the impact is limited to the plugin's functionality, it highlights the importance of proper input validation and nonce protection in WordPress plugins.
This vulnerability was publicly disclosed on 2025-12-12. There are currently no known public proof-of-concept exploits available. The CVSS score of 4.3 (Medium) indicates a moderate probability of exploitation. It is not currently listed on the CISA KEV catalog.
