CVE-2025-11988 affects the Crypto plugin for WordPress in all versions up to and including 2.22. The issue stems from an unauthenticated AJAX action, wp_ajax_nopriv_crypto_connect_ajax_process, which permits invocation of the crypto_delete_json method after only a publicly available nonce check. Because the action is exposed to unauthenticated users and the nonce is not a sufficient authorization control, an attacker can trigger deletion of JSON files matching the pattern *_pending.json in the wp-content/uploads/yak/ directory. The vulnerability results in unauthorized manipulation of application data by allowing deletion of plugin-generated workflow artifacts.
