CVE Alert: CVE-2025-7718 – pixel_prime – Resideo Plugin for Resideo – Real Estate WordPress Theme
CVE-2025-7718
The Resideo Plugin for Resideo – Real Estate WordPress Theme plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 2.5.4. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user’s identity prior to updating their details like email. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to change arbitrary user’s email addresses, including administrators, and leverage that to reset the user’s password and gain access to their account.
AI Summary Analysis
Risk verdict
High risk: authenticated Subscriber+ attackers can take over accounts through email changes in the Resideo plugin; exploitation is not shown as actively exploited in SSVC/ADP data, but the impact is severe.
Why this matters
Compromise enables credential access, persistence, and disruption of admin workflows, potentially giving attackers admin access and control over real estate data and communications. In practice, this can undermine site integrity, erode client trust, and enable downstream abuse such as password resets for other admins.
Most likely attack path
An authenticated user with Subscriber+ privileges can leverage insufficient identity validation to alter another user’s email without UI prompts, then trigger password resets to seize the account. No user interaction is required from the attacker, and the impact spans Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability. If admin-level accounts are affected, lateral movement to full WordPress administration is plausible.
Who is most exposed
Sites using the Resideo Real Estate WordPress Theme plugin with multiple users (including Subscriber+ roles) and exposed admin panels are at highest risk, especially where MFA or strict identity checks are not enforced.
Detection ideas
- Unscheduled changes to user emails by non-admin accounts
- Password reset requests following email changes
- Admin accounts showing unexpected session or login activity
- Audit logs showing user-profile updates to email fields
- WAF or security tool alerts for anomalous account-modification events
Mitigation and prioritisation
- Patch to latest plugin version (or remove if patch unavailable); verify vendor advisories.
- Enforce MFA for all Subscriber+ accounts; apply least-privilege access.
- Restrict password-reset flows; require re-auth for sensitive changes.
- Monitor and alert on mass or unusual user-email updates; strengthen authentication controls.
- Change-management: schedule timely patching; ensure backups and test in staging.
Note: If KEV is true or EPSS ≥ 0.5, treat as priority 1.
