At a glance
CVE-2025-28874 is a medium-severity Improper Input Validation vulnerability in the BP Email Assign Templates WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 1.7. It carries a CVSS score of 6.8 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity; high confidentiality, integrity, availability impact). Exploitation requires an authenticated account at Admin level or above. The issue is fixed in version 1.8; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed March 2025, reported by ch4r0n.
Vulnerability Overview
The BP Email Assign Templates plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized loss of data due to insufficient validation on the delete_eto() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.7. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to delete arbitrary site options.
Technical Analysis
The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed. A successful exploit has high impact on confidentiality, integrity, availability — full site compromise territory.
CWE-20: Improper Input Validation
BP Email Assign Templates <= 1.7 carries this weakness at delete_eto(), and reaching it takes an account at Admin level or above. Improper input validation means the application accepts input without confirming it has the form, type or range the code downstream assumes.
The concrete impact depends on where the unvalidated value lands, which is why records in this class range from cosmetic bugs to full compromise. For BP Email Assign Templates the fix is 1.8: builds <= 1.7 are affected, anything from 1.8 onward is not.
Remediation
Update to version 1.8, or a newer patched version
How does WordSec protect against this?
An attacker needs Admin access first, so the firewall sees the attempt as traffic from a logged-in account: WordSec's web application firewall inspects request payloads before WordPress loads them. None of that substitutes for the fix: BP Email Assign Templates 1.8 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
