CVE-2025-14618
Status: DeferredMedium (4.3)—
The Sweet Energy Efficiency plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access, modification, and loss of data due to a missing capability check on the 'sweet_energy_efficiency_action' AJAX handler in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.6. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber level access and above, to read, modify, and delete arbitrary graphs.
