CVE-2025-6389
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 Sneeit Framework plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in all versions up to, and including, 8.3 via the sneeit_articles_pagination_callback() function. This is due to the function accepting user input and then passing that through call_user_func(). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute code on the server which can be leveraged to inject backdoors or, for example, create new administrative user accounts.
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 Sneeit Framework WordPress plugin (versions up to 8.3) contains an unauthenticated Remote Code Execution vulnerability in the sneeit_articles_pagination_callback() function. The function directly passes user-supplied input to PHP's call_user_func() without sanitization, allowing attackers to invoke arbitrary PHP functions and execute malicious code on the server.

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 Sneeit Framework plugin is installedCheck for the plugin in WordPress under Plugins > Installed Plugins, or inspect /wp-content/plugins/ directory for a folder named 'sneeit-framework' or similar.Affected if The plugin is present in the WordPress installation.
-
Check installed plugin versionIn WordPress admin, view the plugin details to see the version number, or inspect the plugin's main PHP file for a 'Version' header in the plugin comment block.Affected if The version is 8.3 or lower (the vulnerability affects versions up to and including 8.3).
-
Confirm vulnerable function exists in codebaseSearch the plugin files for the function 'sneeit_articles_pagination_callback' - typically found in plugin PHP files handling AJAX requests.Affected if The function exists in the installed plugin code.
-
Identify if AJAX endpoint is accessibleThe vulnerable function is hooked to a WordPress AJAX action. Check if admin-ajax.php is accessible at /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php and accepts the action parameter 'sneeit_articles_pagination'.Affected if The AJAX endpoint is exposed and reachable without authentication (default WordPress behavior for certain AJAX actions).
A user is affected if the Sneeit Framework plugin is installed at version 8.3 or lower and the sneeit_articles_pagination AJAX endpoint is accessible, allowing unauthenticated attackers to invoke arbitrary PHP functions via call_user_func().

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 Sneeit Framework plugin to the latest version immediately. If no patched version is available, disable the plugin until a fix is released, or implement web application firewall (WAF) rules to block requests to the vulnerable endpoint.
