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 · unedited
The Riaxe Product Customizer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.2. This is due to the plugin registering a REST API route at POST /wp-json/InkXEProductDesignerLite/customer/delete_customer without a permission_callback, causing WordPress to default to allowing unauthenticated access, and the inkxe_delete_customer() callback function taking an array of user IDs from the request body and passing each one directly to wp_delete_user() without any authentication or authorization checks. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary WordPress user accounts, including administrator accounts, leading to complete site lockout and data loss.

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 confidence

The Riaxe Product Customizer WordPress plugin registers a REST API route at POST /wp-json/InkXEProductDesignerLite/customer/delete_customer without a permission_callback, causing WordPress to default to allowing unauthenticated access. The inkxe_delete_customer() callback function accepts an array of user IDs from the request body and passes each directly to wp_delete_user() without any authentication or authorization checks, enabling unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary user accounts including administrators.

MitigationDisable the plugin or block the vulnerable /wp-json/InkXEProductDesignerLite/customer/delete_customer endpoint at the web server level until a patched version is available that adds proper permission_callback and authorization checks.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm the Riaxe Product Customizer plugin is installed
    Check for the plugin directory at wp-content/plugins/inkxe-product-designer-lite or list installed plugins via WordPress admin or wp-cli: wp plugin list --search=inkxe
    Affected if The plugin directory exists in the WordPress installation
  2. Determine the installed plugin version
    Read the plugin header from inkxe-product-designer-lite.php or check the version via WordPress admin Plugins page
    Affected if Any version of the plugin is installed (no patched version has been identified)
  3. Verify the vulnerable REST API endpoint is exposed
    Send a POST request to /wp-json/InkXEProductDesignerLite/customer/delete_customer using a tool like curl or Burp Suite. Include a JSON body with a user ID, for example: {"user_id": 1}. Observe whether the server accepts the request without returning a 401 or 403 authentication error
    Affected if The endpoint accepts the request without requiring authentication (returns 200 or other non-401/403 response)
  4. Confirm the endpoint lacks authorization checks
    If the endpoint responds, examine whether the user is actually deleted by querying the WordPress users database or attempting to log in with the target user ID
    Affected if The user ID provided in the request is deleted from the WordPress database without any authentication

If the Riaxe Product Customizer plugin is present and the /wp-json/InkXEProductDesignerLite/customer/delete_customer endpoint accepts unauthenticated requests to delete users, the environment is affected by CVE-2026-3595
