CVE-2025-69332
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 · uneditedSubscriber Broken Access Control in Bookify <= 1.1.1 versions.
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 confidenceThis is a Broken Access Control vulnerability in the Bookify plugin (likely a WordPress plugin) affecting versions 1.1.1 and below. The vulnerability allows users with the 'subscriber' role—which is typically the lowest privilege role in WordPress—to access functionality or data that should be restricted to higher-privileged users (administrators, editors, etc.). This indicates the plugin fails to properly enforce role-based capability checks before performing sensitive operations.

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 Bookify plugin installation and versionIn WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and locate Bookify. Check the version number listed under the plugin name. Alternatively, inspect the plugin main file (commonly plugin-name.php) and look for a version definition comment or constant.Affected if The installed version is 1.1.1 or lower.
-
Confirm subscriber role is activeIn WordPress admin, go to Users > Users and check if any users with the Subscriber role exist. Also go to Settings > General and verify that anyone can register with the Subscriber role selected as the default role.Affected if Subscriber role users exist or subscriber registration is enabled on the site.
-
Inspect plugin for capability checksAccess the Bookify plugin files via FTP or file manager. Examine PHP files containing sensitive functions (such as database operations, content creation, settings changes, or AJAX handlers). Look for calls to current_user_can() before performing privileged actions.Affected if The plugin code lacks proper current_user_can() capability checks before sensitive operations.
-
Test subscriber access to privileged functionsLog in as a user with the Subscriber role. Attempt to access any Bookify admin pages, settings panels, or direct URLs that should only be accessible to administrators. Observe whether access is granted without proper authorization.Affected if A subscriber-level user can access pages or functions intended only for administrators or higher roles.
Your environment is affected if Bookify plugin version 1.1.1 or lower is installed AND subscriber role users exist or can register AND the plugin permits subscriber-level access to administrative functions.

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 Bookify to the latest version if available, or implement proper capability checks (using current_user_can()) and nonce verification on all sensitive functions. Until patched, consider disabling subscriber registration or limiting the subscriber role capabilities.
