CVE-2025-14998 is an authorization flaw in the Branda WordPress plugin affecting versions through 3.4.24. The plugin does not properly validate a user's identity before processing password updates. An unauthenticated attacker can therefore change the password of an arbitrary user, including an administrator, and use the new password to take over that account.
