CVE-2025-13354: Taxopress

Medium severity, CVSS 4.3. EPSS: 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The Tag, Category, and Taxonomy Manager – AI Autotagger with OpenAI plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 3.40.1. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action in the "taxopress_merge_terms_batch" function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber level access and above, to merge or delete arbitrary taxonomy terms.

Affected products

• Taxopress Taxopress: before 3.41.0 (fixed in 3.41.0)
