CVE-2025-2253 — CRITICAL (9.8)

Vulnerability Description

The IMITHEMES Listing plugin is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.

This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change any user's passwords, including administrators if the users email is known.
