CVE-2025-2202
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedBroken access control vulnerability in the Innovación y Cualificación local administration plugin ajax.php. This vulnerability allows an attacker to obtain sensitive information about other users such as id, name, login and email.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceBroken access control vulnerability in the ajax.php file of the Innovación y Cualificación WordPress plugin allows attackers to query sensitive user data (id, name, login, email) without proper authorization, likely due to missing capability checks or improper nonce validation on AJAX endpoints.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify if the plugin is installedCheck your WordPress installation's wp-content/plugins/ directory for a plugin folder matching 'innovacion-y-cualificacion' or similar Spanish naming. You can also list installed plugins via wp-admin > Plugins.Affected if The plugin folder exists in wp-content/plugins/.
-
Determine the installed plugin versionOpen the main plugin PHP file (usually named similarly to the folder) or the readme.txt file within the plugin directory and locate the Version header.Affected if The version is lower than the patched version released for CVE-2025-2202.
-
Locate the ajax.php fileNavigate to the plugin directory and verify the presence of an ajax.php file in the root of the plugin folder.Affected if The ajax.php file exists in the plugin directory.
-
Inspect AJAX endpoint access controlsExamine the ajax.php file for action hooks (like wp_ajax_* and wp_ajax_nopriv_*) and check if they include proper capability checks (current_user_can()) or nonce validation before returning user data.Affected if AJAX actions lack capability checks or nonce validation, or if wp_ajax_nopriv_* hooks expose user data without authorization.
-
Test unauthenticated access to user dataSend a crafted POST request to /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php with an action parameter that matches the vulnerable AJAX hook (if discovered), without providing authentication credentials, to see if user data is returned.Affected if The endpoint returns sensitive user data (id, name, login, email) without requiring authentication or proper authorization.
Your environment is affected if the Innovación y Cualificación plugin is installed, the ajax.php file is present, and AJAX endpoints lack proper capability checks or nonce validation, allowing unauthorized retrieval of user data.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImplement proper access control checks (current_user_can() or capability verification) and nonce validation on all AJAX actions in ajax.php to ensure users can only access their own data or admin-level functions.
