CVE-2025-6380
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 ONLYOFFICE Docs plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation due to missing authorization within its oo.callback REST endpoint in versions 1.1.0 to 2.2.0. The plugin’s permission callback only verifies that the supplied, encrypted attachment ID maps to an existing attachment post, but does not verify the requester’s identity or capabilities. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as an arbitrary user.
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 ONLYOFFICE Docs WordPress plugin (versions 1.1.0-2.2.0) contains a privilege escalation vulnerability in its oo.callback REST endpoint. The endpoint's permission callback only validates that a provided encrypted attachment ID corresponds to an existing WordPress attachment, but performs no authentication or authorization checks on the requesting user. This allows unauthenticated attackers to authenticate as any existing WordPress user by manipulating the attachment ID parameter.

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 ONLYOFFICE Docs plugin is installedIn WordPress admin dashboard, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for 'ONLYOFFICE Docs' or check the wp-content/plugins directory for a folder starting with 'onlyoffice'Affected if The plugin is present on the WordPress installation
-
Check installed plugin versionIn WordPress admin, click on the ONLYOFFICE Docs plugin to view its details, or read the main plugin PHP file for the 'Version' header in the plugin commentsAffected if Version is 1.1.0, 1.1.1, 1.2.0, 1.3.0, 1.4.0, 1.5.0, 1.6.0, 2.0.0, 2.1.0, or 2.2.0 (any version from 1.1.0 through 2.2.0 inclusive)
-
Confirm plugin is activeIn WordPress admin > Plugins, verify the ONLYOFFICE Docs plugin shows as 'Active'Affected if The plugin is currently active and the vulnerable code is executed on requests
-
Check oo.callback REST endpoint is accessibleMake a GET request to /wp-json/oo/v1/callback or /?rest_route=/oo/v1/callback and observe if the endpoint responds (it may return an error about missing parameters but confirms the endpoint exists)Affected if The endpoint is registered and responds, indicating the vulnerable code path exists
The environment is affected if ONLYOFFICE Docs plugin versions 1.1.0 through 2.2.0 are installed and active, exposing the unauthenticated oo.callback REST endpoint.

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 · scopedUpgrade to version 2.2.1 or later which includes proper authorization checks. If immediate patching is not possible, consider restricting access to the oo.callback endpoint via firewall rules or disabling the ONLYOFFICE plugin until patched.
Version 2.2.1 or latest available version
- Navigate to the WordPress admin dashboard
- Go to Plugins > Installed Plugins
- Locate the ONLYOFFICE Docs plugin
- Check if an update is available and apply it
- Verify the plugin has been updated to version 2.2.1 or later
