CVE-2025-6214
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 Omnishop plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery on its /users/delete REST route in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.9. The route’s permission_callback only verifies that the requester is logged in, but fails to require any nonce or other proof of intent. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary user accounts via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
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 Omnishop WordPress plugin has a CSRF vulnerability in its /users/delete REST route. The route's permission_callback only verifies that the requester is logged in but fails to require any nonce or other proof of intent, allowing unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary user accounts by tricking administrators into clicking a malicious link.

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 Omnishop plugin is installedNavigate to WordPress admin > Plugins and confirm Omnishop is listed, or inspect the plugin directory at /wp-content/plugins/omnishop/ for the main plugin fileAffected if The plugin is installed and active
-
Check installed Omnishop versionIn WordPress admin > Plugins, find Omnishop and note the version number, or read the version from the plugin's main PHP file headerAffected if Version cannot be determined or is unknown compared to patched version
-
Inspect the /users/delete REST routeAccess the site via REST API at /wp-json/omnishop/v1/users/delete or examine the plugin source code for REST route registration using register_rest_route()Affected if The /users/delete endpoint exists and is accessible
-
Verify permission_callback lacks nonce verificationExamine the plugin code for the REST route definition - check if permission_callback only calls is_user_logged_in() without verifying a nonce tokenAffected if permission_callback only checks login status without requiring nonce verification
If Omnishop plugin is installed, the /users/delete REST route exists, and its permission_callback only checks authentication without nonce validation, the environment is vulnerable to CVE-2025-6214.

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 dataUpdate the plugin to a patched version (if available) and implement proper nonce verification on the /users/delete REST route to ensure requests originate from legitimate admin sessions.
