What is CVE-2025-14364?

The Demo Importer Plus plugin for WordPress allows authenticated users, including those with Subscriber-level access, to exploit a missing capability check in the Ajax::handle_request() function. This vulnerability enables attackers to perform a complete site reset, resulting in the deletion of all database tables except for those related to users and their metadata. Furthermore, it grants admin-level privileges to the attacking subscriber account due to the automated re-assignment of roles during the exploitation process.
