Deeper analysis

CVE-2025-69187 is a missing authorization vulnerability, mapped to CWE-862, in the Final User WordPress plugin developed by e-plugins. The flaw allows exploitation of incorrectly configured access control security levels and affects all versions of the plugin from unknown initial release through 1.2.5. Published on 2026-01-22, it carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L), indicating high severity due to its network accessibility and lack of prerequisites.
