CVE-2025-6027 is an authentication bypass vulnerability affecting the Ace User Management WordPress plugin. This flaw allows authenticated users, even those with limited privileges like subscribers, to reset the passwords of arbitrary accounts, potentially including administrator accounts. The vulnerability impacts versions 0 through 2.0.3 of the plugin. A patch is available; upgrading is the recommended remediation.
The impact of CVE-2025-6027 is severe. An attacker who successfully exploits this vulnerability can gain complete control over any user account within the WordPress site, including administrator accounts. This allows them to modify site content, install malicious plugins, steal sensitive data, and potentially compromise the entire WordPress installation. The ease of exploitation, requiring only an authenticated user account, significantly increases the risk. This vulnerability shares similarities with other password reset flaws where token validation is insufficient, potentially leading to widespread account takeover.
CVE-2025-6027 was publicly disclosed on 2025-11-05. The vulnerability's ease of exploitation and potential for widespread impact suggest a medium probability of exploitation (EPSS score likely medium). Public proof-of-concept (PoC) code is likely to emerge, further increasing the risk. Check CISA and vendor advisories for updates.
WordPress sites utilizing the Ace User Management plugin, particularly those with subscriber accounts enabled, are at risk. Shared hosting environments where multiple WordPress installations share resources are also at increased risk, as a compromised subscriber account on one site could be leveraged to attack others.

The primary mitigation for CVE-2025-6027 is to immediately upgrade the Ace User Management plugin to a patched version. If upgrading is not immediately feasible due to compatibility issues or breaking changes, consider temporarily disabling the password reset functionality within the plugin. Web application firewalls (WAFs) can be configured to block requests containing suspicious password reset tokens. Monitor WordPress access logs for unusual password reset activity. After upgrading, verify the fix by attempting a password reset as a low-privilege user and confirming that the reset token is correctly validated against the requesting user's account.
