CVE-2025-3604
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 · uneditedThe Flynax Bridge plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.0. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user's identity prior to updating their details like email. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change arbitrary user's email addresses, including administrators, and leverage that to reset the user's password and gain access to their account.
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 · high confidenceThe Flynax Bridge WordPress plugin (versions up to 2.2.0) lacks proper identity validation when processing email update requests, allowing unauthenticated attackers to modify any user's email address including administrators. This enables password reset exploitation to achieve full account takeover.

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.
-
Verify Flynax Bridge plugin is installedNavigate to WordPress admin > Plugins and look for 'Flynax Bridge' in the list of installed plugins, or check the /wp-content/plugins/ directory for a folder named 'flynax-bridge' or similarAffected if The plugin appears in the installed plugins list
-
Determine installed plugin versionIn WordPress admin > Plugins, find Flynax Bridge and view the plugin details to see the version number displayedAffected if The version listed is 2.2.0 or lower
-
Check if plugin is activeIn WordPress admin > Plugins, verify whether Flynax Bridge is currently activatedAffected if The plugin is active and version is 2.2.0 or lower
-
Audit user email addresses for unauthorized changesQuery the wp_users (or prefix_users) table in the WordPress database to list all user emails, or review user accounts in WordPress admin > Users to check if any administrator or other user emails have been changed to addresses you do not recognizeAffected if Any user account has an email address that was not set by an administrator or the legitimate account owner

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.
dbcve · scopedUpdate the Flynax Bridge plugin to a version beyond 2.2.0 immediately; if no patched version exists, remove the plugin entirely and audit for compromise.
Latest version available in WordPress plugin repository (version > 2.2.0)
- 1. Update the Flynax Bridge WordPress plugin to the latest available version from the official WordPress plugin repository
- 2. After updating, verify that the plugin version is newer than 2.2.0
- 3. Review user accounts, especially administrator accounts, for any unauthorized changes to email addresses
- 4. If any suspicious email changes are detected, revert them to the original addresses immediately
- 5. ConsiderForce password reset for all administrator accounts as a precautionary security measure
- 6. Check server logs for any unauthorized account takeover attempts
