How CVE-2025-1780 Works
The BuddyPress WooCommerce My Account Integration plugin (up to v3.4.25) fails to validate user permissions in the `wc4bp_delete_page()` function. This allows authenticated attackers with minimal privileges (Subscriber role) to modify plugin page settings. The vulnerability stems from missing `current_user_can()` checks before executing page updates, enabling unauthorized changes to WooCommerce member pages. Attackers exploit this by sending crafted POST requests to the vulnerable endpoint, bypassing intended access controls.

- Attack Vector: WP admin-ajax.php or REST API
- Impact: Unauthorized page config changes
Exploit Command
curl -X POST http://[bash]/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php \ -d 'action=wc4bp_delete_page&page_id=123' \ --cookie "wordpress_logged_in=[bash]"
Detection Code (PHP)
add_filter('init', function() {
if (has_action('wp_ajax_wc4bp_delete_page') && !current_user_can('manage_options')) {
error_log("CVE-2025-1780 exploit attempt detected");
}
});
Mitigation Steps
1. Temporary Fix: Add to theme’s functions.php
remove_action('wp_ajax_wc4bp_delete_page', 'wc4bp_delete_page');
2. .htaccess Rule: Block suspicious POSTs
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} action=wc4bp_delete_page [bash]
RewriteRule . - [F,L]
3. WAF Rule (Cloudflare):
{
"description": "Block CVE-2025-1780 exploits",
"action": "block",
"expr": "http.request.uri contains 'wc4bp_delete_page'"
}
Patch Verification
After update, confirm:
if (method_exists('WC4BP_Loader', 'wc4bp_delete_page')) {
