CVE-2025-14159 describes a Cross-Site Request Forgery (XSRF) vulnerability affecting the Secure Copy Content Protection and Content Locking plugin for WordPress. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to export sensitive plugin data, potentially exposing user information. The vulnerability impacts versions from 0.0.0 through 4.9.2, and a fix is available in version 4.9.3.
The primary impact of CVE-2025-14159 is the unauthorized export of sensitive plugin data. An attacker can craft a malicious request that, if triggered by a site administrator, will export data stored within the plugin. This data includes email addresses, IP addresses, physical addresses, user IDs, and potentially other user-related information. The description indicates the exported data is stored in a publicly accessible location, significantly increasing the risk of exposure. This vulnerability could lead to privacy breaches, identity theft, and potential reputational damage for websites using the affected plugin.
CVE-2025-14159 was publicly disclosed on December 12, 2025. There is no indication of it being on the CISA KEV catalog at this time. The vulnerability's reliance on tricking a site administrator into performing an action suggests a lower probability of widespread exploitation compared to vulnerabilities that can be exploited without user interaction. Public proof-of-concept (POC) code is currently unknown, but the relatively straightforward nature of XSRF vulnerabilities suggests that a POC may emerge.

The primary mitigation for CVE-2025-14159 is to immediately upgrade the Secure Copy Content Protection and Content Locking plugin to version 4.9.3 or later. If upgrading is not immediately feasible due to compatibility issues or breaking changes, consider temporarily disabling the plugin's export functionality. While not a complete solution, this reduces the attack surface. Implement strict user access controls and educate administrators about the risks of clicking on suspicious links. Monitor WordPress access logs for unusual AJAX requests targeting the 'ayssccpresultsexportfile' action. After upgrading, confirm the vulnerability is resolved by attempting an export action with a non-administrator user and verifying that it is denied.
