Deeper analysis
CVE-2025-14360 is a missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) in the Kaira Blockons WordPress plugin, which allows attackers to access functionality not properly constrained by access control lists (ACLs). This issue affects Blockons versions from n/a through 1.2.19. Published on 2026-01-08, it carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N), reflecting high severity driven by significant confidentiality impact.
Unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low attack complexity and no user interaction. Exploitation enables access to restricted functionality, resulting in high confidentiality consequences, such as unauthorized exposure of sensitive data, while integrity and availability remain unaffected.
